In recent animal studies, this chemical inhibited COX-2, a protein that spurs inflammation (the same protein that so-called COX-2 inhibitor drugs such as Celebrex quash).

Objective To evaluate the inhibiting effect of selective and non-selective cyclo-oxygenase-2(COX-2) inhibitor on growth of colon cancer cell lines in vitro and its signal transduction pathway.

Objective: To synthesize valdecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor.
