tcsc7975 Oxaprozin

Oxaprozin is an inhibitor of both COX-1 and COX-2 with IC₅₀s of 2.2 μM and 36 μM for human platelet COX-1 and IL-1-stimulated human synovial cell COX-2, respectively. Oxaprozin also inhibits the activation of NF-κB.



IC50 & Target: IC50: 2.2 μM (COX-1), 36 μM (COX-2)，NF-κB^[1]

In Vitro: Oxaprozin induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Oxaprozin increases caspase-3 activity in the activated but not in the resting condition. NF-κB activation is inhibited by 50 μM Oxaprozin. Oxaprozin inhibits activation of the IKK system induced by the reagent IκBα^[1]. Oxaprozin dose dependently increase CD40L-treated monocyte apoptosis. 100 μM Oxaprozin induces the strongest proapoptotic effect. 100 μM Oxaprozin significantly increases CD40L-treated monocyte apoptosis. Oxaprozin treatment inhibits CD40L-induced Akt and NF-κB (p65) phosphorylation^[2].
