Product Description

Etoricoxib (also known as MK-0663) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drgu (NSAID) which acts as a selective and orally bioactive COX-2 inhibitor, with IC50s of 1.1 μM and 116 μM for COX-2 and COX-1 in human whole blood. Etoricoxib is a synthetic NSAID with antipyretic, analgesic, and potential antineoplastic properties. Etoricoxib binds specifically to and inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), resulting in inhibition of the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Inhibition of COX-2 may induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)

ln Vitro	Etoricoxib, also known as MK-0663, is an oral COX-2 inhibitor that is selective. Its IC50 values for COX-2, COX-1, and pure human COX-2 in human whole blood are 1.1 μM, 116 μM, and 5, respectively. I.Q. PGE2 produced by CHO (COX-2) cells (IC50, 79 nM), detergent-pure human COX-2 (IC50, 4.1 μM), and purified PGE2 produced by U937 microsomes Effect (low substrate; IC50, 12.1 μM) are all inhibited by etoricoxib (MK-0663). On the other hand, etoricoxib (MK-0663) has a low Ki of 167 μM and minimal action against COX-1 [1].
ln Vivo	In rats, carrageenan-induced paw edema, carrageenan-induced paw pain hypersensitivity, and endotoxin-induced fever are all dose-dependently inhibited by etoricoxib (MK-0663) (0.1-30 mg/kg, po). In a rat hyperalgesia model, etoricoxib (≥10 mg/kg) totally reverses the hyperalgesic response. Rats' urine excretion of 51Cr is unaffected by etoricoxib (MK-0663) at 200 mg/kg/day, and monkeys are unaffected by 100 mg/kg/day of the drug [1]. Rats' levels of glutathione Peptide reductase (GSHRd) and total glutathione (tGSH) are effectively decreased whereas those of malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are effectively increased by etoricoxib (MK-0663) at 50 and 100 mg/kg. Rats' NO decrease is considerably inhibited by etoricoxib (MK-0663) at a dose of 100 mg/kg [2]. Rats with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH)-induced numerous plaque lesions, hyperplasia, and dysplasia can benefit from etoricoxib (MK-0663) (0.64 mg/kg, po) [3].
