Systematic bone loss is commonly complicated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) with unclear pathogenesis and uncertain treatment. In experimental colitis mouse models established by dextran sulfate sodium and IL-10 knockout induced with piroxicam, bone mass and quality are significantly decreased.
Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) are at increased risk for the development of colorectal cancer. Surgery and chemoprevention are the most effective means to prevent cancer development. Thymoquinone (TQ) is considered the main compound of the volatile Nigella sativa
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is a key innovation for plant breeding, and routinely used in basic researches and applied biology. However, the transformation efficiency is often the limiting factor of this technique. In this study, we discovered that oxicam-type nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
The new non-steroidal antiinflammatory (NSAI)2 agent, piroxicam [4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide 1,1-dioxide], is a highly active inhibitor of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis by methylcholanthrene transformed mouse fibroblasts (MC5-5) and rabbit synovial cells in culture. Comparison of the PG biosynthesis inhibitory activity of piroxicam with
