(Pubmed Central) - Mar 11, 2024 Compounds that act by influencing NMDARs have been particularly intensively investigated following the success of ketamine in clinics...The side effects associated with imipramine administration, e.g., memory impairment, were improved when inhibiting COX-2...The observed effects were more potent when COX-2 was inhibited. The finding described here may be vital when searching for new drugs acting via NMDARs without the side effects related to cognition.
- |||||||||| Needle biopsy induces pro-metastatic progression and systemic dissemination of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells through the COX-2/PGE2 cascade (Section 11) - Mar 5, 2024 - Abstract #AACR2024AACR_8702;
We show that needle biopsy promotes systemic dissemination of cancer cells through a mechanism of sustained activation of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) cascade, which favors M2-polarization and its associated pro-metastatic changes, but are abrogated by oral treatment with COX-2 inhibitors in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) syngeneic mouse tumor models.Therefore, we conclude that needle biopsy of ER+ breast cancer provokes progressive pro-metastatic changes, which may explain the mortality risk posed by surgery delay after diagnosis. Also, our data may provide a rationale for a pharmacologic strategy to inhibit the COX-2/PGE2 cascade in cases when delay of surgery is unavoidable.

Effect of XPO1 inhibition on colorectal cancer tumorigenesis (Section 29) - Mar 5, 2024 - Abstract #AACR2024AACR_4090; Collectively, our findings underscore XPO1 as a potent target for inhibiting CRC tumorigenesis. Future studies will aim to further assess how Eltanexor is impacting COX-2's promoter, while additionally testing Eltanexor's tumorigenesis-inhibiting potential in a colitis-induced CRC mouse model.

In computational prediction, the polyphenols were also found to be nontoxic, and a variety of biological activities, such as antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and hepatoprotective, were observed. The results of this study revealed that ZrlME possesses notable analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties.

Review, Journal: Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID)-, Potassium Supplement-, Bisphosphonate-, and Doxycycline-Mediated Peptic Ulcer Effects: A Narrative Review. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 9, 2024 Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on gastric ulcers, and some bisphosphonates have been shown to decrease the production of nitric oxide, resulting in increased damage to the gastric mucosa. Finally, doxycycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic that is typically used to treat anthrax poisoning, skin lesions, and sexually transmitted diseases.
- |||||||||| Preclinical, Journal: Ginsenoside Rk3 Ameliorates Obesity-Induced Colitis by Modulating Lipid Metabolism in C57BL/6 Mice. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 1, 2024
Rk3 intervention markedly reduced the production of pro-inflammatory factors (PGE2, PGD2, TXB2, HETE, and HODE) by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, while enhancing the production of anti-inflammatory factors (EET and diHOME) via cytochrome P450 pathways. Our findings suggest that Rk3 is a potential anti-inflammatory natural drug that can improve obesity-induced intestinal inflammation by regulating lipid metabolism.
