DrugBank Pharmacology: --
DrugBank MoA: This drug is a selective inhibitor of the COX-2 enzyme , . COX-2 is expressed in the brain, in the kidney, in bone, and likely in the female reproductive system . Its expression at other sites is increased during inflammation, experimentally, in response to mitogenic stimuli. Growth factors, phorbol esters, and interleukin (IL)-1 stimulate the expression of COX-2 in fibroblasts, while endotoxin serves the same function in monocytes/macrophages . SC-236 works also directly through suppressing the nuclear translocation of RelA/p65, a transcription factor. SC-236 directly targets proteins that facilitate the nuclear translocation of NF-κB, an inflammatory signaling pathway , .
Targets: Cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor; Nuclear factor NF-kappa-B complex inhibitor
Inclusion Criteria: Therapeutic strategy associated
