Valdecoxib (SC 65872) is a prescription drug used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and painful menstruation and menstrual symptoms. It is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID, and should not be taken by anyone allergic to these types of medications.

Celecoxib (SC 58635) is a Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug. The mechanism of action of celecoxib is as a Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor.

Rofecoxib (MK 966) binds to and inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), resulting in an inhibition of the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Rofecoxib is a synthetic, nonsteroidal derivative of phenyl-furanone with anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic properties and potential antineoplastic properties. COX-related metabolic pathways may represent key regulators of cell proliferation and neo-angiogenesis. Some epithelial tumor cell types overexpress pro-angiogenic COX-2.

Etoricoxib (MK-663) is a synthetic, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with antipyretic, analgesic, and potential antineoplastic properties. Etoricoxib specifically binds to and inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), resulting in inhibition of the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Inhibition of COX-2 may induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis.

Lumiracoxib (Prexige) is a novel, selective COX-2 inhibitor with IC50 and Ki of 0.14 μM and 0.06 μM, exhibits 515-fold selectivity over COX-1. Phase 4.

5-Aminosalicylic Acid (5-ASA) is an anti-inflammatory agent, structurally related to the SALICYLATES, which is active in INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE. It is considered to be the active moiety of SULPHASALAZINE.

Eltenac (B78820) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, COX inhibitor with analgesic activity.Eltenac inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 and is used in the study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

Vedaprofen (PM 150) inhibits COX-1 and reduces prostaglandin H2 synthesis with anti-inflammatory activities. Vedaprofen is an inhibitor of Escherichia coli sliding clamp with the IC50 of 222 μM and Ki of 131 μM.

Lobuprofen is a small molecule COX inhibitor that is used to treat neurological disorders.

Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) is a COX inhibitor that inhibits COX1 and COX2 (IC50=5 210 μg mL) with selective, irreversible, and oral activity. Aspirin is also a histone deacetylase inhibitor that up-regulates the cell cycle blocking protein, p21. Aspirin has a variety of activities. Aspirin has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic, and antiplatelet aggregation activities.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is a COX inhibitor that inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 (IC50=113.7 25.8 μM). Acetaminophen has antipyretic and analgesic activity as well as weak anti-inflammatory activity.

Flurbiprofen (dl-Flurbiprofen) is an anti-inflammatory analgesic and antipyretic of the phenylalkynoic acid series. It has been shown to reduce bone resorption in periodontal disease by inhibiting CARBONIC ANHYDRASE.

Sodium salicylate (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid sodium salt), a metabolite of acetylsalicylic acid, can inhibit NF-kB and reduce oxidative stress.

Methyl salicylate (Gaultheria oil) is an organic ester naturally produced by many species of plants, particularly wintergreens. For acute joint and muscular pain, methyl salicylate is used as a rubefacient and analgesic in deep heating liniments.

Pasiniazid (Paraniazide) is an anti-TB and anti-leprosy drug.

(S)-(+)-Ibuprofen (Dexibuprofen) , is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX).

Indomethacin (Indomethacin) is a COX1 and COX2 inhibitor (IC50=18 26 nM) with blood-brain barrier permeability and non-selectivity. Indomethacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with anti-tumor and anti-infective activity.

Niflumic acid (Nifluril) is a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel blocker and an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent used in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis.

Oxaprozin (Oxaprozinum) is a Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug. The mechanism of action of oxaprozin is as a Cyclooxygenase Inhibitor. The chemical classification of oxaprozin is Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Compounds.

Catechin (Cianidanol) is a flavan-3-ol, a type of natural phenol and antioxidant.

4-Nonylphenol polyethoxylate (Nonoxinol-9) is a typical surfactant used as a vaginal spermicide. Spermicides are locally acting non-hormonal contraceptives. When present in the vagina during intercourse, they immobilize inactivate damage and or kill sperms without eliciting systemic effects. 4-Nonylphenol polyethoxylate has been in use for more than 30 years as an over-the-counter (OTC) drug in creams, gels, foams and condom lubricants. It is the most commonly used spermicidal contraceptive in the UK and the USA. In several European countries, spermicides are no longer on the market.

(R)-Naproxen, an anti-inflammatory agent, has antipyretic and analgesic properties. Both the acid and its sodium salt are used in the therapy of acute gout or dysmenorrhea, musculoskeletal disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic.

Fenbufen (Lederfen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used primarily to treat inflammation in osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and tendinitis. It can also be used to relieve backaches, sprains, and fractures. Fenbufen is available as a capsule or tablet sold with the brand names Cepal, Cinopal, Cybufen, Lederfen, and Reugast. Fenbufen acts by preventing cyclooxygenase from producing prostaglandins which can cause inflammation.

Gallic acid (Benzoic acid) is found in almost all plants. Plants known for their high gallic acid content include gallnuts,grapes,tea,hops and oak bark.
