DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Inflammation
Biological Activity:
Meloxicam (Mobic) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic and fever reducer effects. Meloxicam inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandin H2--the first step in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation. Meloxicam has been shown, especially at its low therapeutic dose, selectively to inhibit COX-2 over COX-1. [1]
