Isoxicam is a non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). [2]
X-ray crystallography of the murine COX-2-isoxicam complex reveals that it binds in the cyclooxygenase active site via a novel mode, interacting indirectly with key residues (Arg-120, Tyr-355, Tyr-385, and Ser-530) through two highly coordinated water molecules. It forms a direct hydrogen bond between its 4-hydroxyl group on the thiazine ring and Ser-530 (distance ~2.7 Å). [2] |

| ln Vitro |
The study determined the crystal structure of the murine COX-2-isoxicam complex at 2.0 Å resolution, revealing a novel binding pose. The drug binds in the COX channel in a planar conformation with an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carboxamide nitrogen and the 4-hydroxyl oxygen of the benzothiazine. It interacts with the hydrophobic channel mainly through van der Waals interactions. A direct hydrogen bond is formed between the 4-hydroxyl group of isoxicam and Ser-530. Two highly ordered water molecules mediate additional polar bridges: one water bridges the carboxamide oxygen and the thiazine nitrogen of isoxicam with Tyr-355 and Arg-120; the other water bridges the heteroatom of the isoxazole ring with Tyr-385 and Ser-530. [2]
The binding of isoxicam induces conformational changes in COX-2, including a rotation of the side chain of Leu-531 (~3.5 Å shift of the Cδ atom) that opens a new hydrophobic pocket, and a movement of helix D (>1.0 Å) to accommodate the benzyl ring of the benzothiazine. [2] |
| Enzyme Assay |
COX Inhibition Assay: Cyclooxygenase inhibition was monitored by O₂ consumption using a Clark-type oxygen-sensitive electrode. The assay solution contained 100 nM purified protein, 2 equivalents of hematin, 100 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.0), 5 mM phenol, and 2% DMSO. The inhibitor was added and incubated with the protein for 12 min at room temperature, followed by an additional 3 min at 37°C. The reaction was initiated by the addition of arachidonic acid, and oxygen consumption was monitored for 2 min. [2]
Crystallization of mCOX-2-Isoxicam Complex: Purified murine COX-2 (mCOX-2) protein was reconstituted with a 2-fold molar excess of Fe³⁺-protoporphyrin IX. A 10-fold molar excess of isoxicam was added to the protein sample. Crystallization was performed using the hanging drop method. Drops containing 3 µl of the protein-inhibitor complex and 3 µl of crystallization solution (50 mM EPPS, pH 8.0, 120 mM MgCl₂, 22-26% PEG MME-550) were equilibrated against a reservoir of the same solution. Crystals appeared in approximately 5 days and grew to full size in about 3 weeks. Crystals were cryoprotected in a solution containing 50 mM EPPS, pH 8.0, 120 mM MgCl₂, and 28% PEG MME-550 before flash freezing in liquid nitrogen. [2] |

| Additional Infomation |
Isoxicam is a monocarboxylic acid amide, with the structural formula of piroxicam, wherein the pyridine-2-yl group is replaced by a 5-methyl-1,2-oxazol-3-yl group. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that was withdrawn from the market in the 1980s due to its association with Stevens-Johnson syndrome. It can be used as both an NSAID and an antirheumatic drug. It is a benzothiazide compound, belonging to the isoxazole class, and is also a monocarboxylic acid amide. Isoxicam is an NSAID and is not currently marketed in the United States. There are reports of isoxicam's presence in Brassica napus, and relevant data are available.
Isoxicam is a nonselective COX inhibitor belonging to the oxicam class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This study provides the first crystal structure determination of an oxicam bound to cyclooxygenase (mCOX-2). The binding mode of isoxicam is novel compared to other NSAIDs, involving a two-water-mediated hydrogen-bonding network and inducing a rotation of Leu-531, which opens a new binding pocket. The structure explains previous structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of oxicams, which indicated that a methyl group at the 2-position of the benzothiazine ring and a meta-substituted anilide on the carboxamide are optimal for anti-inflammatory activity.
