Analgesic activity of Eugenia jambolana leave constituent: a dikaempferol rhamnopyranoside from ethyl acetate soluble fraction.

Pharm. Biol. 52(8) , 1069-78, (2014)

Eugenia jambolana Lam. (Myrtaceae) is a medicinal plant used in folk medicine for the treatment of diabetes, inflammation, and pain.We investigated the antinociceptive effect of kaempferol-7-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside]- 4'-O-4'-[kaempferol-7-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosid...

Downregulation of NF-κB and PCNA in the regulatory pathways of apoptosis by cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors in experimental lung cancer.

Mol. Cell Biochem. 369(1-2) , 75-86, (2012)

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are emerging as novel chemopreventive agents against a variety of cancers owing to their capability in blocking the tumor development by cellular proliferation, angiogenesis and by promoting apoptosis. The presen...

Angiostatic role of the selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor etoricoxib (MK0663) in experimental lung cancer.

Biomed. Pharmacother. 66(6) , 474-83, (2012)

Lung cancer was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by a single intra-tracheal instillation of 9,10-dimethybenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) and evaluated the anti-angiogenic action of etoricoxib, which is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. The animals were di...

Evaluation of a single preoperative dose of etoricoxib for postoperative pain relief in therapeutic knee arthroscopy: a randomized trial.

Acta Orthop. 83(6) , 642-7, (2012)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Analgesics can have undesirable effects. We assessed whether a single preoperative dose of 120 mg etoricoxib reduces the need for additional opioids after therapeutic arthroscopic knee surgery. METHODS A double-blind, placebo-controlled...

Nuclear factor kappa B: a pro-inflammatory, transcription factor-mediated signalling pathway in lung carcinogenesis and its inhibition by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

J. Environ. Pathol. Toxicol. Oncol. 31(1) , 27-37, (2012)

9,10-Dimethyl benz(a)anthracene (DMBA), when injected intratracheally once at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight, is found to induce lung cancer in rats. Two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), indomethacin and etoricoxib, are given orally daily as che...

Etoricoxib: a highly selective COX-2 inhibitor.

Ann. Pharmacother. 39(5) , 854-62, (2005)

To review the available literature evaluating the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, and adverse effects of etoricoxib, a highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor that is not currently approved for use in the US.Literature retrieval...

Etoricoxib.

Drugs Today (Barc) 40(5) , 395-414, (2004)

Etoricoxib (Arcoxia, Merck & Co., Inc.) is a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme involved in pain and inflammation. It is a member of the COX-2-selective (coxib) class of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Extensive clinical ...

Role of cytokines in experimentally induced lung cancer and chemoprevention by COX-2 selective inhibitor, etoricoxib.

Mol. Cell Biochem. 372(1-2) , 101-12, (2013)

This study explored the role of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in dimethyl benz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced lung cancer and its subsequent correction with a COX-2 inhibitory NSAID, etoricoxib. A single dose of DMBA (20 mg/kg body weight) in 0.9 % NaCl a...

The first example of a patient with etoricoxib-induced immune hemolytic anemia.

Transfusion 53(5) , 1033-6, (2013)

Etoricoxib, a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase 2, is increasingly used in pain relief. Here, we report the first case of etoricoxib-induced immune hemolytic anemia.An 84-year-old male patient developed anemia 1 week after treatment with etoricoxib. There...

Tolerability to etoricoxib in patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.

J. Investig. Allergol. Clin. Immunol. 23(4) , 275-80, (2013)

The use of selective cyclooxygenase (COX) 2 inhibitors as an alternative to aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been suggested for patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD).To evaluate tolerability to etorico...
