Selective, irreversible COX-1 inhibitor. The selectivity for COX-1 vs COX-2 shows the IC50 values for ovine COX-1 vs COX-2 of 0.8 μM vs. 15 mM respectively.
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are synthesized from arachidonic acid by CYP/epoxygenase and metabolized by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Roles of EETs in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH) remain elusive. The present study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms, by which EETs potentiate

Neuroinflammatory responses are triggered by diverse ethiologies and can provide either beneficial or harmful results. Microglial cells are the major cell type involved in neuroinflammation, releasing several mediators, which contribute to the neuronal demise in several diseases including cerebral ischemia
Augmented endothelium-dependent contractions (EDC) contributes to endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease progression. An early signal in EDC is cytosolic [Ca2+]i rise in endothelial cells, which stimulates the production of contractile prostanoids, leading to vascular contraction. In this study, the molecular

Hypertension is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which favors the release of endothelium-derived contracting factors, including vasoconstrictor prostanoids and reactive oxygen species. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) agonists, clinically used as lipid-lowering drugs, possess antioxidant properties and exert beneficial effects in the
