Description: Meloxicam (Parocin; Movicox; Meloxicamum; Mobic; Mobicox; reumoxicam; Movalis; Uticox), an approved medication used to treat pain and inflammation in rheumatic arthritis and osteoarthritis, is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which acts as a selective COX inhibitor with IC50s of 0.49 µM and 36.6 µM for COX-2 and COX-1, respectively. I is used to relieve pain and fever effects. Studies suggest that Meloxicam is Cox-2 preferential, therefore it will probably not display a lower gastrointestinal toxicity than non-selective anti-inflammatory agents. This compound has been shown to also inhibit prostanoid synthesis in inflammatory cells. It shows potent anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic effects with low gastrointestinal toxicity in animal models.

In vitro activity: Meloxicam significantly reduces HCA-7 and Moser-S colony size. Meloxicam significantly inhibits HCA-7 colony and tumor growth but has no effect on the growth of the COX-2 negative HCT-116 cells. Meloxicam inhibits PGE(2) production, proliferation and invasiveness especially in MG-63 cells, which express relatively high levels of COX-2. Meloxicam causes apoptosis and upregulates Bax mRNA and protein in MG-63 cell culture.
Cell Assay: CF41.Mg and MDCK cells are seeded at a density of 1.5 × 103 cells/well into 96-well plates, cultured for 24 h and then exposed to 0-25 µg/mL Meloxicam alone or in combination with doxorubicin. To evaluate synergism and sensitization, doxorubicin is added at the same time and after 24 h, respectively. MDCK cells are exposed only to Meloxicam as a non-tumor negative control. Control groups are cultured without Meloxicam and doxorubicin, but the corresponding amount of DMSO is added to the medium. Following an incubation period of 24 and 48 h, cell growth is measured using the MTS assay, with the absorbance at 490 nm determined using a microplate reader. Each experiment is performed 3 times in triplicate.
