Abstract
The significant advances made in recent years in the discovery of selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors has been impressive. The current availability of human recombinant COX-1 and COX-2 assays used in determining enzyme selectivity has facilitated the discovery and development of selective COX-2 inhibitors as therapeutic agents for the treatment of inflammation. Since no clinical data has been reported to date, it is unknown whether selective COX-2 inhibitors will have genuine therapeutic utility in the treatment of inflammation without the gastric aide-eff ects associated with non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors (NSAIDs).
