Abstract Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an inducible enzyme that regulates prostaglandin
synthesis and is overexpressed at sites of inflammation and in several epithelial cancers …

There is considerable interest in the involvement of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in colon
carcinogenesis and its progression, because nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) …

Abstract Cyclooxygenase2 (COX-2), an inducible prostaglandin G/H synthase, is
overexpressed in several human cancers. Here, the potential utility of selective COX-2 …

Cyclooxygenase (COX), the key regulatory enzyme for prostaglandin synthesis, is
transcribed from two distinct genes. COX-1 is expressed constitutively in most tissues …

Population-based studies have established that long-term intake of non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), compounds that inhibit the enzymatic activity of …

Abstract Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), also called prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase 2, is
involved in colorectal tumor development. This review deals with particular questions raised …

Use of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, which are known to inhibit
cyclooxygenase activity, reduces the relative risk of colorectal cancer in humans by 40–50 …

Abstract Cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) is an inducible enzyme that regulates prostaglandin
synthesis and is overexpressed at sites of inflammation and in several epithelial cancers. A …

The cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme has a fundamental role in the carcinogenesis of
colorectal cancer. The anticarcinogenic mechanisms of NSAIDs are not completely …

The cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) are key enzymes of prostaglandin
(PG) biosynthesis. Nonselective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the …
