Component

SC560, a cyclooxygenase-1 selective inhibitor

SC560, a cyclooxygenase-1 selective inhibitor. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. Prostanoid production by rat aorta, heart, lung and whole blood was inhibited by all drugs tested with the order of potency SC560 greater than naproxen greater than acetaminophen greater than or equal to rofecoxib while in brain and cerebellum no differences among drug potencies were found, Western blotting using a commercially available antibody raised against canine COX-3 failed to detect any immunoreactive proteins, and the authors conclude that cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 are the functional forms present in the rat tissues tested, that acetaminophen is not a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase activities in the central nervous system, and that expression of an active cyclooxygenase protein from COX-3 messenger RNA in the rat is apparently impossible.

    Four drugs of differing isoform selectivity, with transcript and protein detection including an anti-canine-COX-3 antibody
    limitations
    Tests the proposal functionally across tissues and looks for the protein directly. A rat study, and a negative Western blot is weaker evidence than a positive one.
