Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2008 Dec 4;
Authors: De Godoy MA, Rattan N, Rattan S
Prostanoids, produced endogenously via cyclooxygenases, have been implicated in the sustained contraction of different smooth muscles. The two major types of cyclooxygenases are COX-1 and COX-2. The COX subtype involved in the basal state of the internal anal sphincter (IAS) smooth muscle tone is not known. To identify the COX subtype, we examined the effect of COX-1 vs. COX-2 selective inhibitors, SC-560 and rofecoxib respectively, on the rat IAS basal tone. We also determined the effect of selective deletion of COX-1 and COX-2 genes on the murine IAS basa…

Arthritis was induced by a single intra-articular injection of 0.1 mL of 0.1% FCA in the right ankle joint. The effect of dried latex (DL, 200 and 400 mg/kg) and its methanol extract (MeDL, 50 and 500 mg/kg) following oral administration was evaluated on joint inflammation, hyperalgesia, locomotor function and histology at the time of peak inflammation. The effects of DL and MeDL were compared with antiinflammatory drugs phenylbutazone (100 mg/kg), prednisolone (20 mg/kg), rofecoxib (20 and 100 mg/kg) and immuno-suppressant methotrexate (0.3 mg/kg). Daily oral administration of DL and its methanol extract (MeDL) produced a significant reduction in …

There seems to be a marked gradient of risk for acute kidney injury across agents, specifically for indomethacin, ibuprofen, and rofecoxib.

Unfortunately, that does not seem to be happening, and most certainly not happening enough.”As a doctor, I am increasingly worried in recent years that company-funded research can’t be trusted in the same way that other research can be trusted,” said Dr Hochman.”All of us, doctors, patients, journalists, have gotten into a bad habit of referring to medications by their proprietary brand names.
