Pyridazinone was found to be an excellent core template for selective COX-2 inhibitors. Two potent, selective and orally active COX-2 inhibitors, which were highly efficacious in rat paw edema and rat pyresis models, have been obtained.

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in inflammation by converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. The overexpression of enzyme is associated with conditions such as cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease (AD), where it contributes to neuroinflammation. In silico virtual screening is pivotal in early-stage drug discovery; however, the absence of coding or machine learning expertise can impede the development of reliable computational models capable of accurately predicting inhibitor compounds based on their chemical structure.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including ionizing radiation treatment, are increasingly recognized as an effective method for the degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Nabumetone (NAB), a widely used NSAID prodrug, poses an environmental risk due to its persistence in aquatic ecosystems and its potential toxicity to non-target organisms. In this study, the radiolytic degradation of NAB was investigated under different experimental conditions (dose rate, radical scavenging, pH, matrix effect), and the toxicity of its degradation products was evaluated.

This study aimed to compare the inhibitory effect of flunixin meglumine and meloxicam on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract in male cattle. Tissue samples, including the abomasum, ileum, proximal loop and centripetal gyri of the ascending colon, were collected from routinely slaughtered male cattle. These samples were sectioned into strips and mounted in an isolated tissue bath system.

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is prevalent in Southeast Asia and North Africa, which is generally associated with limited treatment options and poor patient prognosis.
Objective: Ferroptosis is a recently observed cell death modality and has been shown to link to the efficacy of different anti-cancer treatments, thus offering opportunities to the development of novel therapies. This study aims to investigate the potentiating effects of COX-2 inhibitors on ferroptosis in nasopharyngeal cancer.

Inflammation and oxidative stress are crucial for osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Despite the potential of pharmacological pretreatment of chondrocytes in preventing OA, its efficacy in preventing the progression of cartilage damage and promoting its recovery has not been examined. In this study, an HO-induced human OA-like chondrocyte cell model was created using H1467 primary human chondrocytes to evaluate the efficacy of interleukin (IL)-6 and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors (tocilizumab and celecoxib, respectively) in the prevention and treatment of cartilage damage.
