Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of a herbal formulation for rheumatoid arthritis - A non-inferiority randomized controlled trial. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 325:117833. [PMID: 38316221 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2022] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a diverse disease characterized by a variable, progressive course of articular and extra-articular symptoms that are linked with pain, disability, and mortality. The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is still being investigated, and there is no cure for this debilitating, persistent, painful disease. Qurs-e-Mafasil, a herbal Unani preparation, is regarded as a potent treatment for Waja'al-Mafasil, a condition clinically similar to rheumatoid arthritis, but scientific evidence is scarce. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to assess the non-inferiority of Qurs-e-Mafasil compared to celecoxib in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized controlled trial was conducted on seventy patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis between the ages of 35 and 55 years. The participants were randomly allocated in a ratio of 3:2, with 42 participants in the test group and 28 participants in the control group. The test group was administered 2 tablets (each having 500 mg) of Qurs-e-Mafasil, while the control group was administered 1 capsule of Celecoxib 100 mg. Both medications were delivered for four weeks. The primary outcome measure was European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria based on Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS28) assessed before and after therapy, whereas the secondary outcome measure was the change in joint pain severity as determined by a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at baseline and each follow-up. The safety of the interventions was evaluated based on adverse event monitoring at each follow-up and laboratory tests including hemogram, Liver Function Tests (LFTs), Kidney Function Tests (KFTs), and a complete urine examination performed at baseline and after four weeks of treatment. RESULTS The per-protocol analysis was done on 50 participants (30 in test group and 20 in control group) who completed the study duration. Thus, at the conclusion of the trial, participants in the test and control groups had either a moderate or no response based on EULAR response criteria. The odds ratio for no response versus moderate response between the test and the control groups was 0.71 (95% CI: 0.20-2.55) with p = 0.744. Moreover, the observed mean differences in VAS scores between the test and the control groups at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and final follow-up were -0.33 (95% CI: -6.65 to 5.99, p = 0.916), 0.50 (95% CI: -5.63 to 6.63, p = 0.870), 2.42 (95% CI: -2.95 to 7.78, p = 0.370), and 3.00 (95% CI: -1.82 to 7.84, p = 0.219), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The differences in primary and secondary outcomes between the two groups indicate that Qurs-e-Mafāsil, a herbal Unani formulation containing Zingiber officinale Roscoe rhizome, Colchicum luteum Baker root, Piper nigrum L. fruit, and Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal. root, is comparable to celecoxib in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are hematological malignancies with high incidence rates that respond relatively well to conventional therapies. However, a major issue is the clinical emergence of patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) NHL or ALL. In such circumstances, opportunities for complete remission significantly decline and mortality rates increase. The recent FDA approval of multiple cell-based therapies, Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel), Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel), Tecartus (Brexucabtagene autoleucel KTE-X19), and Breyanzi (Lisocabtagene Maraleucel), has provided hope for those with r/r NHL and ALL. These new cell-based immunotherapies use genetically engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, whose success can be attributed to CAR's high specificity in recognizing B-cell-specific CD19 surface markers present on various B-cell malignancies and the subsequent initiation of anti-tumor activity. The efficacy of these treatments has led to promising results in many clinical trials, but relapses and adverse reactions such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity (NT) remain pervasive, leaving areas for improvement in current and subsequent trials. In this review, we highlight the current information on traditional treatments of NHL and ALL, the design and manufacturing of various generations of CAR T-cells, the FDA approval of Kymriah, Yescarta Tecartus, and Breyanzi, and a summary of prominent clinical trials and the notable disadvantages of treatments. We further discuss approaches to potentially enhance CAR T-cell therapy for these malignancies, such as the inclusion of a suicide gene and use of FDA-approved drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, is used for the management of short- and long-term pain as well as in other inflammatory conditions. Unfortunately, its chronic use is highly associated with serious abnormal cardiovascular events. The current study was designed to explore the effect of long-term administration of celecoxib on the cardiac tissues of male albino rats. The study also examined the alleged cardioprotective effect of royal jelly. METHODS Thirty, male albino rats were randomly divided into 3 equal groups; 10 each: (1) rats served as the control group and received no drug; (2) rats received celecoxib (50 mg/kg/day, orally), for 30 consecutive days; (3) rats received celecoxib (50 mg/kg/day, orally) plus royal jelly (300 mg/kg/day, orally) for 30 consecutive days. Sera were collected to assay cardiac enzymes and oxidant/antioxidant status. Rats were euthanatized and cardiac tissues were dissected for quantitative estimation of apoptotic genes (Bax) and anti-apoptotic gene (Bcl-2). RESULTS Long-term celecoxib administration caused cardiotoxicity in male albino rats as manifested by significant elevation of serum levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), with ameliorative effects of royal jelly against celecoxib-induced cardiotoxicity as manifested by significantly decrease in serum CPK, CK-MB, and LDH levels. It also showed a significant decrease in the oxidative stress indicator malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and the bax gene. Additionally, it demonstrated significant increases in the bcl-2 gene and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, which contribute to its therapeutic effects against celecoxib-induced cardiotoxicity. CONCLUSION Long-term celecoxib administration caused cardiotoxicity in male albino rats with protective effect of royal jelly being given together. It could be concluded that royal jelly may prove a useful adjunct in patients being prescribed celecoxib. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Cutan Ocul Toxicol 2024; 43:87-96.

Abstract
PURPOSE Skin exposure to noxious agents leads to cutaneous lesion marked by an increase in inflammation, cellular proliferation, and hyperplasiogenic reactions. Studies have demonstrated that these damages breach the skin integrity resulting in the aetiology of various cutaneous disorders like atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and development of non-melanoma skin cancer. Celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, is an effective treatment for a variety of inflammatory diseases. Its importance in the therapy of skin problems, however, remains under appreciated. METHODS We tested efficacy of topically applied celecoxib in mitigating skin inflammation, cellular proliferation, and hyperplasia induced by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in Swiss albino mice. RESULTS Celecoxib (5 and 10 μmol) markedly reduced TPA (10 nmol) induced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production, oedema formation, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). It also resulted in a considerable decrease in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and the incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into DNA. In addition, there was a significant reduction in histoarchitectural abnormalities such as epidermal thickness, number of epidermal cell layers, neutrophil infiltration, intercellular oedema, and vasodilation. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that topical celecoxib can reduce the inflammation, hyperproliferation, and hyperplasiogenic events of skin insults suggesting that it may prove to be a valuable management option for cutaneous lesion and associated illnesses such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis, as well as the emergence of non-melanoma cancer.

Celecoxib ameliorates diabetic sarcopenia by inhibiting inflammation, stress response, mitochondrial dysfunction, and subsequent activation of the protein degradation systems. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1344276. [PMID: 38313305 PMCID: PMC10834620 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1344276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim: Diabetic sarcopenia leads to disability and seriously affects the quality of life. Currently, there are no effective therapeutic strategies for diabetic sarcopenia. Our previous studies have shown that inflammation plays a critical role in skeletal muscle atrophy. Interestingly, the connection between chronic inflammation and diabetic complications has been revealed. However, the effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib on diabetic sarcopenia remains unclear. Materials and Methods: The streptozotocin (streptozotocin)-induced diabetic sarcopenia model was established. Rotarod test and grip strength test were used to assess skeletal muscle function. Hematoxylin and eosin and immunofluorescence staining were performed to evaluate inflammatory infiltration and the morphology of motor endplates in skeletal muscles. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) staining was used to determine the number of succinate dehydrogenase-positive muscle fibers. Dihydroethidium staining was performed to assess the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Western blot was used to measure the levels of proteins involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, ubiquitination, and autophagic-lysosomal pathway. Transmission electron microscopy was used to evaluate mitophagy. Results: Celecoxib significantly ameliorated skeletal muscle atrophy, improving skeletal muscle function and preserving motor endplates in diabetic mice. Celecoxib also decreased infiltration of inflammatory cell, reduced the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, and suppressed the activation of NF-κB, Stat3, and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways in diabetic skeletal muscles. Celecoxib decreased reactive oxygen species levels, downregulated the levels of Nox2 and Nox4, upregulated the levels of GPX1 and Nrf2, and further suppressed endoplasmic reticulum stress by inhibiting the activation of the Perk-EIF-2α-ATF4-Chop in diabetic skeletal muscles. Celecoxib also inhibited the levels of Foxo3a, Fbx32 and MuRF1 in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, as well as the levels of BNIP3, Beclin1, ATG7, and LC3Ⅱ in the autophagic-lysosomal system, and celecoxib protected mitochondria and promoted mitochondrial biogenesis by elevating the levels of SIRT1 and PGC1-α, increased the number of SDH-positive fibers in diabetic skeletal muscles. Conclusion: Celecoxib improved diabetic sarcopenia by inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and protecting mitochondria, and subsequently suppressing proteolytic systems. Our study provides evidences for the molecular mechanism and treatment of diabetic sarcopenia, and broaden the way for the new use of celecoxib in diabetic sarcopenia.

Abstract
Conventional coupling agents (such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, methylcellulose, and polyurethane) are unable to efficiently transport drugs through the skin's dual barriers (the epidermal cuticle barrier and the basement membrane barrier between the epidermis and dermis) when exposed to ultrasound, hindering deep and noninvasive transdermal drug delivery. In this study, nanobubbles prepared by the double emulsification method and aminated hyaluronic acid are crosslinked with aldehyde-based hyaluronic acid by dynamic covalent bonding through the Schiff base reaction to produce an innovative ultrasound-nanobubble coupling agent. By amplifying the cavitation effect of ultrasound, drugs can be efficiently transferred through the double barrier of the skin and delivered to deep layers. In an in vitro model of isolated porcine skin, this agent achieves an effective penetration depth of 728 µm with the parameters of ultrasound set at 2 W, 650 kHz, and 50% duty cycle for 20 min. Consequently, drugs can be efficiently delivered to deeper layers noninvasively. In summary, this ultrasound nanobubble coupling agent efficiently achieves deep-layer drug delivery by amplifying the ultrasonic cavitation effect and penetrating the double barriers, heralding a new era for noninvasive drug delivery platforms and disease treatment.

Abstract
This study analysed the pharmacological mechanism of Gastrodiae Rhizoma, Lycii Fructus, and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen in sedation and tranquillising mind using network pharmacology methods. The findings of this study aimed to serve as a reference for the development of novel drugs and the clinical expansion and application of traditional Chinese medicine formulas. The chemical constituents and therapeutic targets of Gastrodiae Rhizoma, Lycii Fructus, and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen were acquired from TCMSP, HERB, and ETCM databases. Active components were identified using ADME criteria, while the primary targets associated with sedation and mental tranquillity were obtained from GENECARDS, OMIM, and DRUGBANK databases. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis was conducted using the STRING platform to investigate potential functional protein modules by the network. The METASCAPE platform was employed for the study of the "component-target" and its associated biological processes and pathways. Subsequently, the "component-target" network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1 software. Finally, the validation of molecular docking was conducted through AUTODOCK. The findings revealed that Quercetin, Atropine, Dauricine, (S)-Coclaurine, and other active ingredients were identified as the core constituents of Gastrodiae Rhizoma, Lycii Fructus, and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen. Additionally, PTGS2, PTGS1, MAOB, GABRA1, SLC6A2, ADRB2, CHRM1, HTR2A, and other targets were identified as the core targets. The results of the molecular docking analysis demonstrated that Quercetin, Atropine, Dauricine, and (S)-Coclaurine exhibited binding solid affinity towards PTGS2 and PTGS1. The predominant biological pathways associated with sedation and tranquilisation primarily involved Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and activation of receptors involved in chemical carcinogenesis. This study provided initial findings on the multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway mechanism underlying the sedative and tranquillising effects of Gastrodiae Rhizoma, Lycii Fructus, and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen. These findings had the potential to serve as a foundation for the future development and utilisation of Gastrodiae Rhizoma, Lycii Fructus, and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen.

Abstract
Xanthene and thioxanthene analogues have been investigated for their potential as anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents. Additionally, cysteine analogues have been found to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities due to their role in cellular redox balance, scavenging of free radicals, and involvement in nucleophilic reactions and enzyme binding sites. In this study, we synthesized a library of tertiary alcohols derived from xanthene and thioxanthene, and further, some of these compounds were coupled with cysteine. The objective of this research was to explore the potential anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities of the synthesized compounds. The synthesized compounds were subjected to test for anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Results indicated that compound 3 exhibited excellent inhibition activity (IC50 = 9.6 ± 1.1 nM) against colon cancer cells (Caco-2), while compound 2 showed good inhibition activity (IC50 = 161.3 ± 41 nM) against hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep G2) cells. Compound 4 demonstrated potent antioxidant inhibition activity (IC50 = 15.44 ± 6 nM), and compound 7 exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity with cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition IC50 (4.37 ± 0.78 nM) and high selectivity for COX-2 (3.83). In conclusion, certain synthesized compounds displayed promising anticancer activity and anti-inflammatory effects. Nevertheless, additional research is necessary to create more analogues, develop a more distinct comprehension of the structure-activity relationship (SAR), and perform in vivo experiments to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of the compounds under examination. Such research may pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic agents with potential applications in cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
This study aims to synthesize some novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives, and investigate their biological activities. These compounds exhibited good to high antioxidant activities [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capabilities]. Among them, Ethyl 5-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)-7-hydroxy-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (3h) showed the highest antioxidant activity [Half-maximal Inhibitory Concentration (IC50 )=15.34 μM] compared to ascorbic acid (IC50 =13.53 μM) as a standard compound. Their antibacterial activities were investigated against two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli). The results showed that Ethyl 7-hydroxy-5-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (3i) has the best antibacterial activity against Gram-positive B. subtilis [Zone of Inhibition (ZOI)=23.0±1.4 mm, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)=312 μM]. Also, the cytotoxicity of these compounds was assessed against breast cancer cell lines [human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7)], which 7-Hydroxy-2-methyl-5-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbonitrile (3f) displayed the most cytotoxicity (IC50 =55.97 μg/mL), in contrast with Lapatinib (IC50 =79.38 μg/mL) as a known drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is closely related to cancer prognosis. The effect of celecoxib, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on the prognosis of patients with cancer remains uncertain. To assess the association between celecoxib plus standard chemotherapy and cancer prognosis, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception until July 2022 for randomized controlled trials reporting the prognosis of patients with cancer treated with celecoxib plus standard chemotherapy. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager software version 5.4. The following search terms were used in the databases: ((((celecoxib)) AND ((((((((cancer) OR (carcinoma)) OR (sarcoma)) OR (neoplasms)) OR (tumor)) OR (tumour)) OR (tumors)) OR (tumours))) AND ((survival) OR (mortality))) AND (((Clinical Trials, Randomized) OR (Trials, Randomized Clinical)) OR (Controlled Clinical Trials, Randomized)). RESULTS Overall, 13 randomized controlled trials, including 8957 patients with cancer, were included in the analysis. Compared to conventional chemotherapy alone, 1-year OS and 1-year PFS rates were not significantly improved with celecoxib adjuvant therapy (OS: p = .38; PFS: p = .65). In addition, no differences were observed between the celecoxib and placebo groups in 3-year overall (p = .98), 3-year progression-free (p = .40), 5-year overall (p = .59), or 5-year progression-free (p = .56) survival rates. An increase in the risk ratio of leukopenia (p = .02) and thrombocytopenia (p = .05) was also observed, suggesting that celecoxib promotes hematologic toxicity. No increased risk of cardiovascular (p = .96) and gastrointestinal (p = .10-.91) events was observed. CONCLUSIONS The addition of celecoxib to standard chemotherapy did not improve OS or PFS rates of patients with cancer. Additionally, celecoxib can increase hematologic toxicity without increasing the risk of gastrointestinal or cardiovascular reactions. Further randomized controlled trials are necessary to clarify its effects and applications.

Abstract
Salicylic acid is an NSAID with serious side effects on the GIS. The side effects of salicylic acid on the GIS are slightly reduced by acetylating salicylic acid. 12 new ester analogs of salicylic acid were synthesized with high yields in this study. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, and HRMS spectra. The inhibitory potential of the compounds was evaluated on COXs by in vitro and in silico studies. The COX2 inhibitory activity of the most potent inhibitor MEST1 (IC50 : 0.048 μM) was found to be much higher than the COX2 inhibitory activity of aspirin (IC50 : 2.60 μM). In docking studies, the strongest inhibitor among the compounds synthesized was predicted to be MEST1, with the lowest binding energy. Docking studies revealed that MEST1 extends from the hydrophobic channel to the top of the cyclooxygenase active site, forming various interactions with residues in the binding pocket.

Abstract
COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as a potential threat to human life, especially to people suffering from chronic diseases. In this study, we investigated the ability of selected FDA-approved drugs to inhibit TACE (tumor necrosis factor α converting enzyme), which is responsible for the shedding of membrane-bound ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme2) receptors into soluble ACE2. The inhibition of TACE would lead to an increased population of membrane-bound ACE2, which would facilitate ACE2-Spike protein interaction and viral entry. A total of 50 drugs prescribed in treating various chronic diseases in Saudi Arabia were screened by performing molecular docking using AutoDock4.2. Based on docking energy (≤ -9.00 kcal mol-1), four drugs (Celecoxib, Glipizide, Lapatinib, and Sitagliptin) were identified as potential inhibitors of TACE, with binding affinities up to 106-107 M-1. Analysis of the molecular docking suggests that these drugs were bound to TACE's catalytic domain and interact with the key residues such as His405, Glu406, and His415, which are involved in active site Zn2+ ion chelation. Molecular dynamics simulation was performed to confirm the stability of TACE-drugs complexes. RMSD (root mean square deviation), RMSF (root mean square fluctuation), Rg (radius of gyration), and SASA (solvent accessible surface area) were within the acceptable limits. Free energy calculations using Prime-MM/GBSA suggest that Celecoxib formed the most stable complex with TACE, followed by Glipizide, Sitagliptin, and Lapatinib. The finding of this study suggests a mechanism for drugs to aggravate SARS-CoV-2 infection and hence high mortality in patients suffering from chronic diseases.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Joint diseases are one of the most common causes of morbidity and disability worldwide. The main diseases that affect joint cartilage are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, which require chronic treatment focused on symptomatic relief. Conventional drugs administered through systemic or intra-articular routes have low accumulation and/or retention in articular cartilage, causing dose-limiting toxicities and reduced efficacy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop improved strategies for drug delivery, in particular, the use of micro- and nanotechnology-based methods. Encapsulation of therapeutic agents in delivery systems reduces drug efflux from the joint and protects against rapid cellular and enzymatic clearance following intra-articular injection. Consequently, the use of drug delivery systems decreases side effects and increases therapeutic efficacy due to enhanced drug retention in the intra-articular space. Additionally, the frequency of intra-articular administration is reduced, as delivery systems enable sustained drug release. This review summarizes various advanced drug delivery systems, such as nano- and microcarriers, developed for articular cartilage diseases.

Abstract
Fluorochemistry is a field of tremendous developments and advances in several areas of science including materials, pharmaceuticals and agriculture. This makes the design and synthesis of fluorine-containing substances highly desirable research targets. The sub-area of synthetic perfluorinated chemistry proportionately attracts widespread interest by applying to all areas of chemistry including organic and inorganic. Particularly, the latter is much underdeveloped as metal complexes with perfluoroalkyl moieties are scarce, with the vast majority of perfluorinated analogs, of long known, halo and alkylated derivatives never having been synthesized. Focusing on the chemistry of trifluoromethyl group, which is the most important in the class of perfluoroalkyls, we set out to explore the possibility of synthesizing and completely characterizing a cyclohexadienyl metal complex. Upon utilizing a number of trifluorometylating reagents, we only arrived at an efficient preparation by the use of Morrison’s trifluormethylating reagent. As a result, the new, air- and moisture-sensitive complex (η5-C6H7)Fe(CO)2CF3, was prepared in 71% yield, using a nucleophilic iodo-for-trifluoromethyl substitution, and was completely characterized including by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
Reaction discovery and catalyst screening lie at the heart of synthetic organic chemistry. While there are efforts at de novo catalyst design using computation/artificial intelligence, at its core, synthetic chemistry is an experimental science. This review overviews biomacromolecule-assisted screening methods and the follow-on elaboration of chemistry so discovered. All three types of biomacromolecules discussed─enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids─have been used as "sensors" to provide a readout on product chirality exploiting their native chirality. Enzymatic sensing methods yield both UV-spectrophotometric and visible, colorimetric readouts. Antibody sensors provide direct fluorescent readout upon analyte binding in some cases or provide for cat-ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay)-type readouts. DNA biomacromolecule-assisted screening allows for templation to facilitate reaction discovery, driving bimolecular reactions into a pseudo-unimolecular format. In addition, the ability to use DNA-encoded libraries permits the barcoding of reactants. All three types of biomacromolecule-based screens afford high sensitivity and selectivity. Among the chemical transformations discovered by enzymatic screening methods are the first Ni(0)-mediated asymmetric allylic amination and a new thiocyanopalladation/carbocyclization transformation in which both C-SCN and C-C bonds are fashioned sequentially. Cat-ELISA screening has identified new classes of sydnone-alkyne cycloadditions, and DNA-encoded screening has been exploited to uncover interesting oxidative Pd-mediated amido-alkyne/alkene coupling reactions.

Abstract
A mediated electrosynthetic method has been developed for selective benzylic oxidation of methylarenes. Phthalimide-N-oxyl (PINO) radical generated by proton-coupled electrochemical oxidation of N-hydroxypthalimide serves as a hydrogen atom-transfer (HAT) mediator and as a radical trap for the benzylic radicals generated in situ. This mediated electrolysis method operates at much lower anode potentials relative to direct electrolysis methods for benzylic oxidation initiated by single-electron transfer (SET). A direct comparison of SET and mediated-HAT electrolysis methods with a common set of substrates shows that the HAT reaction exhibits a significantly improved substrate scope and functional group compatibility. The PINOylated products are readily converted into the corresponding benzylic alcohol or benzaldehyde derivative under photochemical conditions, and the synthetic utility of this method is highlighted by the late-stage functionalization of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib.

Abstract
Polyphenols are a large family of naturally occurring phytochemicals. Herein, oxyresveratrol was isolated from ethanolic crude extracts of Artocarpus lacucha Buch.-Ham., and chemically modified to derive its lipophilic analogues. Biological screening assays showed their inhibitory potency against cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) with very low cytotoxicity to the MRC-5 normal cell lines. At the catalytic site of COX-2, docking protocols with ChemPLP, GoldScore and AutoDock scoring functions were carried out to reveal hydrogen bonding interactions with key polar contacts and hydrophobic pi-interactions. For more accurate binding energetics, COX-2/ligand complexes at the binding region were computed in vacuo and implicit aqueous solvation using M06-2X density functional with 6-31G+(d,p) basis set. Our computational results confirmed that dihydrooxyresveratrol (4) is the putative inhibitor of human COX-2 with the highest inhibitory activity (IC50 of 11.50 ± 1.54 µM) among studied non-fluorinated analogues for further lead optimization. Selective substitution of fluorine provides a stronger binding affinity; however, lowering the cytotoxicity of a fluorinated analogue to a normal cell is challenging. The consensus among biological activities, ChemPLP docking score and the binding energies computed at the quantum mechanical level is obviously helpful for identification of oxyresveratrol analogues as a putative anti-inflammatory agent.

Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12010099.

Abstract
Tanshinone IIA (TIIA) and cryptotanshinone (CRY) from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge were investigated for their inhibitory activity against the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1)/endothelial prostaglandin 3 (EP3) pathway using in silico, in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo assays. From the analysis of the docking poses, both diterpenoids were able to interact significantly with COX-2, 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR), and mPGES-1. This evidence was further corroborated by data obtained from a cell-free assay, where CRY displayed a significant inhibitory potency against mPGES-1 (IC50 = 1.9 ± 0.4 µM) and 5-LO (IC50 = 7.1 µM), while TIIA showed no relevant inhibition of these targets. This was consistent with their activity to increase mice bleeding time (CRY: 2.44 ± 0.13 min, p ≤ 0.001; TIIA: 2.07 ± 0.17 min p ≤ 0.01) and with the capability to modulate mouse clot retraction (CRY: 0.048 ± 0.011 g, p ≤ 0.01; TIIA: 0.068 ± 0.009 g, p ≤ 0.05). For the first time, our results show that TIIA and, in particular, CRY are able to interact significantly with the key proteins involved not only in the onset of inflammation but also in platelet activity (and hyper-reactivity). Future preclinical and clinical investigations, together with this evidence, could provide the scientific basis to consider these compounds as an alternative therapeutic approach for thrombotic- and thromboembolic-based diseases.

Abstract
Objective To assess the cardiovascular safety of celecoxib compared to non-selective non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs or placebo. Methods We included randomized controlled trials of oral celecoxib compared with a non-selective NSAID or placebo in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients. We conducted searches in EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. Study selection and data extraction were done by two authors independently. The risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane’s risk-of-bias Tool for Randomized Trials. The effect size was presented as a risk ratio with their 95% confidence interval. Results Until July 22nd, 2021, our search identified 6279 records from which, after exclusions, 21 trials were included in the meta-analysis. The overall pooled risk ratio for Antiplatelet Trialists Collaboration cardiovascular events for celecoxib compared with any non-selective non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs was 0.89 (95% confidence interval: 0.80–1.00). The pooled risk ratio for all-cause mortality for celecoxib compared with non-selective non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs was 0.81 (95% confidence interval: 0.66–0.98). The cardiovascular mortality rate of celecoxib was lower than non-selective non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (risk ratio: 0.75, 95% confidence interval: 0.57–0.99). There was no significant difference between celecoxib and non-selective non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs or placebo in the risk of other cardiovascular events. Conclusion Celecoxib is relatively safe in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis patients, independent of dose or duration. But it remains uncertain whether this would remain the same in patients treated with aspirin and patients with established cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem globally. The management of carbohydrate digestion provides an alternative treatment. Flavonoids constitute the largest group of polyphenolic compounds, produced by plants widely consumed as food and/or used for therapeutic purposes. As such, isoxazoles have attracted the attention of medicinal chemists by dint of their considerable bioactivity. Thus, the main goal of this work was to discover new hybrid molecules with properties of both flavonoids and isoxazoles in order to control carbohydrate digestion. Moreover, the trifluoromethyl group is a key entity in drug development, due to its strong lipophilicity and metabolic stability. Therefore, the present work describes the condensation of a previously synthesized trifluoromethylated flavonol with different aryl nitrile oxides, affording 13 hybrid molecules indicated as trifluoromethylated flavonoid-based isoxazoles. The structures of the obtained compounds were deduced from by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS analysis. The 15 newly synthesized compounds inhibited the activity of α-amylase with an efficacy ranging from 64.5 ± 0.7% to 94.7 ± 1.2% at a concentration of 50 μM, and with IC50 values of 12.6 ± 0.2 μM-27.6 ± 1.1 μM. The most effective compounds in terms of efficacy and potency were 3b, 3h, 3j, and 3m. Among the new trifluoromethylated flavonoid-based isoxazoles, the compound 3b was the most effective inhibitor of α-amylase activity (PI = 94.7 ± 1.2% at 50 μM), with a potency (IC50 = 12.6 ± 0.2 μM) similar to that of the positive control acarbose (IC50 = 12.4 ± 0.1 μM). The study of the structure-activity relationship based on the molecular docking analysis showed a low binding energy, a correct mode of interaction in the active pocket of the target enzyme, and an ability to interact with the key residues of glycosidic cleavage (GLU-230 and ASP-206), explaining the inhibitory effects of α-amylase established by several derivatives.

Abstract
Back pain affects millions globally and in 40% of the cases is attributed to intervertebral disc degeneration. Oral analgesics are associated with adverse systemic side-effects and insufficient pain relief. Local drug delivery mitigates systemic effects and accomplishes higher local dosing. Clinical efficacy of intradiscally injected celecoxib (CXB)-loaded polyesteramide microspheres (PEAMs) was studied in a randomized prospective double-blinded placebo controlled veterinary study. Client-owned dog patients suffering from back pain were treated with CXB-loaded (n = 20) or unloaded PEAMs ("placebo") (n = 10) and evaluated by clinical examination, gait analysis, owners' questionnaires, and MRI at 6 and 12 weeks follow-up. At 6 and 12 weeks, CXB-treated dogs experienced significantly less pain interference with their daily life activities compared to placebo. The risk ratio for treatment success was 1.90 (95% C.I. 1.24-2.91, p = 0.023) at week 6 and 1.95 (95% C.I. 1.10-3.45, p = 0.036) at week 12. The beneficial effects of CXB-PEAMs were more pronounced for the subpopulation of male dogs and those with no Modic changes in MRI at inclusion in the study; disc protrusion did not affect the outcome. It remains to be determined whether intradiscal injection of CXB-PEAMs, in addition to analgesic properties, has the ability to halt the degenerative process in the long term or restore the disc.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide, and ranges in the top 5–10 most disabling diseases. Contrary to common opinion, this disease is severe, often symptomatic, and may lead to loss of mobility and independence, as well as being responsible for increased frailty and excess mortality [standardized ratio: 1.55 (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.41–1.70)]. The incidence of OA increases dramatically with age in an increasingly ageing world. Therefore, practitioners involved in the management of OA often have to manage very old patients, aged 75–80 years and above, as part of their daily practice. Treatment options are limited. In addition to education and physical treatments, which are at the forefront of all treatment recommendations but require a low level of symptoms to be implemented, many pharmacological options are proposed. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be used as a second-line treatment but with great caution. However, the precise incidence of cardiovascular, renal, and gastrointestinal adverse events in very elderly patients is unclear. All of these risks are increased in the elderly. The relative risks can be extrapolated from various studies. However, what is the absolute risk according to age categorization? The answer to this question is important because NSAIDs should be used in very elderly patients with OA only if full information has been provided and the decision to prescribe this treatment is shared between the patient and their doctor. This article reviews the risks and currently available recommendations, and proposes practical options and warnings to allow for a responsible and limited use of NSAIDs in the very old.

[PMID: 33857515 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.04.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex chronic disorder and a major global health problem. Insulin resistance is the primary detectable abnormality and the main characteristic feature in individuals with type 2 DM. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a key negative regulator of the insulin signaling pathway, which dephosphorylates insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrates, suppressing the insulin signaling cascade. Therefore, the inhibition of PTP1B has become a potential strategy in the management of type 2 DM. In this study, a library of 22 pyrazoles was evaluated here for the first time against human PTP1B activity, using a microanalysis screening system. The results showed that 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-{2-[3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl]}-1-phenylpyrazole 20 and 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-{2-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)]naphthyl}pyrazole 22 excelled as the most potent inhibitors of PTP1B, through noncompetitive inhibition mechanism. These findings suggest that the presence of additional benzene rings as functional groups in the pyrazole moiety increases the ability of pyrazoles to inhibit PTP1B. The most active compounds showed selectivity over the homologous T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP). Molecular docking analyses were performed and revealed a particular contact signature involving residues like TYR46, ASP48, PHE182, TYR46, ALA217 and ILE219. This study represents a significant beginning for the design of novel PTP1B inhibitors.

Abstract
The imbalance between proliferation and apoptosis of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) has been the main cause of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial hyperplasia. Our previous study confirmed that the cyclic mechanical stimulation (CMS) inhibited the proliferation of RA FLSs, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate these underlying mechanisms. The in vitro cultured human RA FLSs were subjected to CMS (6%, 1.0 Hz). Cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of cyclin D1, cyclin E1, CDK-2 and p27 was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). MTS assay was used to detect cell viability. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels in RA FLSs were detected by western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. The results showed that CMS significantly inhibited the cell cycle transformation of RA FLSs from G1 phase to S phase, which significantly decreased the cell proliferation index. Meanwhile, both cyclin E1 and CDK-2 gene expressions were significantly decreased, p27 gene expression was increased, and no significant change was observed in the expression of cyclin D1. The inhibition of COX-2/PGE2 pathway in RA FLSs by celecoxib treatment showed no effect on the inhibition of RA FLSs proliferation by CMS. In conclusion, CMS inhibited the proliferation of RA FLSs by modulating the expression of cell cycle-related molecules such as cyclin E1, CDK2 and p27 to arrest cell cycle transformation, which is independent of COX-2/PGE2 signaling pathway.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Increase Cisplatin, Paclitaxel, and Doxorubicin Efficacy against Human Cervix Cancer Cells. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2020; 13:ph13120463. [PMID: 33333716 PMCID: PMC7765098 DOI: 10.3390/ph13120463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Revised: 11/03/2020] [Accepted: 11/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
This study shows that the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) celecoxib and its non-cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) analogue dimethylcelecoxib (DMC) exert a potent inhibitory effect on the growth of human cervix HeLa multi-cellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) when added either at the beginning (“preventive protocol”; IC50 = 1 ± 0.3 nM for celecoxib and 10 ± 2 nM for DMC) or after spheroid formation (“curative protocol”; IC50 = 7.5 ± 2 µM for celecoxib and 32 ± 10 µM for DMC). These NSAID IC50 values were significantly lower than those attained in bidimensional HeLa cells (IC50 = 55 ± 9 µM celecoxib and 48 ± 2 µM DMC) and bidimensional non-cancer cell cultures (3T3 fibroblasts and MCF-10A mammary gland cells with IC50 from 69 to >100 µM, after 24 h). The copper-based drug casiopeina II-gly showed similar potency against HeLa MCTS. Synergism analysis showed that celecoxib, DMC, and casiopeinaII-gly at sub-IC50 doses increased the potency of cisplatin, paclitaxel, and doxorubicin to hinder HeLa cell proliferation through a significant abolishment of oxidative phosphorylation in bidimensional cultures, with no apparent effect on non-cancer cells (therapeutic index >3.6). Similar results were attained with bidimensional human cervix cancer SiHa and human glioblastoma U373 cell cultures. In HeLa MCTS, celecoxib, DMC and casiopeina II-gly increased cisplatin toxicity by 41–85%. These observations indicated that celecoxib and DMC used as adjuvant therapy in combination with canonical anti-cancer drugs may provide more effective alternatives for cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was to investigate the value of 10 serum inflammatory cytokines for predicting clinical response to celecoxib in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. METHODS Totally, 103 active AS patients who underwent celecoxib treatment for 12 weeks were enrolled. Then, pre-treatment serum TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17A, IL-21, IL-23, IL-32, ICAM-1, and VEGF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Besides, the ASAS 20 response was assessed at week 2 (W2), week 6 (W6), and week 12 (W12). Based on the ASAS 20 response at W12, patients were divided into responders and non-responders. RESULTS After celecoxib treatment, 53 (51.3%), 58 (56.3%), and 60 (58.3%) patients achieved ASAS 20 response at W2, W6, and W12, respectively. Furthermore, IL-1β (P = 0.019), IL-6 (P = 0.004), and IL-17A (P = 0.007) levels were higher, while TNF-α (P = 0.086), IL-8 (P = 0.143), IL-21 (P = 0.687), IL-23 (P = 0.329), IL-32 (P = 0.216), ICAM-1 (P = 0.119), and VEGF (P = 0.732) levels were similar in responders compared with non-responders. Subsequent multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that among these inflammatory cytokines, only IL-6 (P = 0.019) independently predicted higher ASAS 20 response to celecoxib at W12, and it had a fair value for predicting ASAS 20 response to celecoxib at W12 (area under the curve: 0.666, 95% confidence interval: 0.561-0.771) by receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis. CONCLUSION Serum IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17A serve as indicators for predicting clinical response to celecoxib in AS patients, which may assist with the optimization of personalized treatment.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of Tephrosia vogelii seedpods led to the isolation of twelve compounds: vogelisoflavone A (1), vogelisoflavone B (2), isopongaflavone (3), onogenin, luteolin, 4',7-dihydroxy-3'-methoxyflavanone, trans-p-hydroxycinnamic acid, tephrosin, 2-methoxygliricidol, dehydrorotenone, 6a,12a-dehydro-α-toxicarol and pinoresinol. Compounds 1 and 2 are reported as new natural products. Isopongaflavone (3) was structurally modified using hydrazine to pyrazoisopongaflavone (4). These compounds were characterized based on their NMR and HRESIMS data. Further, four compounds (1-4) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Treatment of the LPS-stimulated PBMCs with the compounds at a concentration of 100 μM suppressed the secretion of interleukin IL-1β interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).

Abstract
PEGylated Eudragit L100 (ELP)-containing proliponiosomes (PLNs) were developed for improved oral delivery of celecoxib (CXB). The successful introduction of PEG 2000 or 5000 to Eudragit L100 (EL) was confirmed via proton nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of which calculated molar substitution ratio of PEG to EL was 36.0 or 36.7, respectively. CXB, ELP, phospholipid, and non-ionic surfactants were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and lyophilized to produce CXB-loaded PLNs (CXB@PLNs). The physical state of CXB@PLNs was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffractometry, which revealed that crystalline CXB was transformed into amorphous form after the fabrication procedure. The reconstitution of CXB@PLNs in aqueous media generated CXB-loaded liponiosomes with nano-sized mean diameters and spherical morphology. CXB@PLNs displayed enhanced dissolution rate and permeability compared to CXB suspension. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies performed on rats demonstrated the improved oral bioavailability of CXB@PLNs compared to that of CXB suspension. No serious systemic toxicity was observed in the blood biochemistry tests performed on rats. These results suggest that the developed PLNs could be promising oral delivery systems for improving the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, such as CXB.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to be linked with numerous diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). Our study aimed to examine the effect of simvastatin on NO- or ROS-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in OA. Simvastatin has attracted considerable attention since the discovery of its pharmacological effects on different pathogenic processes, including inflammation. Here, we report that simvastatin treatment blocked sodium nitroprusside (SNP)- and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β)-induced COX-2 production. In addition, simvastatin attenuated SNP-induced NO production and IL-1β-induced ROS generation. Treatment with simvastatin prevented SNP- and IL-1β-induced nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity. Inhibiting NO production and ROS generation using N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and NG-monomethyl- l-arginine ( l-NMMA), respectively, accelerated the influence of simvastatin on NF-κB activity. In addition, NAC blocked SNP and simvastatin-mediated COX-2 production and NF-κB activity but did not alter IL-1β and simvastatin-mediated COX-2 expression. l-NMMA treatment also abolished IL-1β-mediated COX-2 expression and NF-κB activation, whereas SNP and simvastatin-mediated COX-2 expression were not altered compared with the levels in the SNP and simvastatin-treated cells. Our findings suggested that simvastatin blocks COX-2 expression by inhibiting SNP-induced NO production and IL-1β-induced ROS generation by blocking the NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is known as an important enzyme in the inflammation process that has tumorigenesis function in various cancers through the induction of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell proliferation, migration, and invasion that lead to metastasis. Celecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can selectively target COX-2, suppress downstream pathways, and finally lead to anticancer potentiality. microRNAs (miRNAs), as a class of small noncoding RNAs, play pivotal roles in cancers through the tumor-suppressive or oncogenic effects, by post-transcriptional regulation of their target genes. In this regard, shreds of evidence have shown that, COX-2 reveals its action through miRNA regulation. So, in this systematic review, we aimed to highlight the tumorigenic role of COX-2 in cancer development and the therapeutic effects of celecoxib, as a selective COX-2 drug, through the regulation of miRNAs.

Bioorg Chem 2020; 102:104046. [PMID: 32688115 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2020.104046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Revised: 05/24/2020] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
A novel one-pot multicomponent reaction was performed to synthesize different imidazole and benzotriazole (BTA) isatin-based medicinally important compounds using (p-TSA·H2O) as an economical and operative acid catalyst. The yield of the products was found to be up to a maximum of 92% when using this catalyst. Antioxidant, anti-breast cancer and anti-inflammatory activities of these 13 isatin-based derivatives (named as 5a-m) were assessed. The inhibitory effects of these compounds were tested in vitro against cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2, an enzyme responsible for inflammation) and phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K, a key enzyme in breast cancer). "Among the 13 isatin-based Imidazole derivatives, five compounds (5a, 5d, 5f, 5 k and 5l) were found to exhibit anti-inflammatory as well as anti-cancer activity, which was validated using HRBC stabilization assay (to show anti-inflammatory activity) and cytotoxicity in MCF-7 (breast cancer cell line) to provide proof for anti-cancer property of the compounds". The molecular interactions between the two enzymes were probed using molecular docking. Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) and ADMET prediction results were also useful to screen the most effective imidazole derivatives and to establish them as putative COX-2 inhibitors/anti-inflammatory drugs. These selected compounds which showed appreciable activity against COX-2 and PI3K are promising drug candidates for the treatment of breast cancer and inflammation which is often associated with breast cancer pathophysiology.
