Cyclooxygenase-2: a major therapeutic advance?
1Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Research Unit, Leeds University, Leeds, United Kingdom.
Abstract:
The introduction of the highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors (Coxibs) has resulted in the greatest new drug use ever. The hypothesis on which these drugs were developed was that COX-2-specific inhibitors would retain the advantageous aspects but restrict the deleterious effects of conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Current practice and evidence suggests that bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract is reduced to the level of placebo and that dyspepsia persists, and in other areas (particularly renal side effects), COX-2-specific inhibitors still have classic NSAID problems.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
