microsomal pge2 synthase-1

PF-9184 is a potent and selective inhibitor of human microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) with an IC50 of 16.5 nM, and it inhibits IL-1β-induced PGE2 synthesis in vitro.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibitor 3 is a selective inhibitor targeting microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1; IC50 = 0.2 µM), demonstrating greater selectivity for mPGES-1 over COX-1, COX-2, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) in assays at 10 µM. This compound effectively reduces IL-1β-induced PGE2 production in A549 cells and decreases LPS-induced IL-6 and PGE2 in J774A.1 macrophages at concentrations of 10 and 1 µM, respectively. Additionally, it blocks the production of 5-LO-derived products, including leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and 5-H(p)ETE, in response to calcium ionophore A23187 alone or combined with arachidonic acid, with IC50 values of 4.9 and 5.2 µM, respectively. When administered in vivo at doses of 10 mg/kg, PGE2 inhibitor 3 effectively prevents leukocyte infiltration in a mouse model of zymosan-induced peritonitis.

UT-11 is a potent brain-permeable inhibitor of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1), exhibiting IC50 values of 0.10 μM and 2.00 μM for the inhibition of PGE2 production in human (SK-N-AS) and murine (BV2) cells, respectively [1].

CAY10526 (BTH) is a selective mPGES-1 inhibitor that acts as an inhibitor of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

YS121 is a dual inhibitor of microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1; IC50=3.4 μM) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX; IC50=6.5 μM). YS121 dose-dependently reduces the production of PGE2 with EC50=12 μM in IL-1β-stimulated A549 cells [1].

2,5-dimethyl Celecoxib is a derivative of celecoxib that does not inhibit COX-2 (IC50 = >100 μM).1 It does inhibit microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) in HeLa cells (IC50 = 15.6 μM) and reduces prostaglandin E2 production in HeLa, A549, and HCA-7 cells (IC50s = 0.64, 0.83, and 3.08 μM, respectively).2 It inhibits proliferation of drug-sensitive RPMI8226 and multidrug-resistant 8226 Dox40 multiple myeloma cells, as well as increases the rate of apoptosis when used at concentrations of 20 and 30 μM.3 2,5-dimethyl Celecoxib reduces the expression of survivin, cyclin A, cyclin B, MEK1, and MEK2 in 8226 Dox40 cells. The antiproliferative effect of 2,5-dimethyl celecoxib is independent of mPGES-1 inhibition.2References1. Zhu, J., Song, X., Lin, H.-P., et al.
