Abstract:
The present study analyzes the possible scavenger capacity of several anti-inflammatory drugs on growth of Escherichia coli K12, BW9 109, a strain hypersensitive to H2O2, in medium containing H2O2. Although all cyclo-oxygenase and/or lipoxygenase inhibitors protected the cells against H2O2, no correlation was found between their relative protective abilities and reported anti-inflammatory potencies.
