Rofecoxib 是一种COX-2抑制剂，IC50为18 nM。A selective Cox-2 inhibitor.

Information

Rofecoxib (MK-0966) is aCOX-2inhibitor withIC50of 18 nM.
In vitro

Rofecoxib inhibits the COX-2-dependent production of PGE2 in human osteosarcoma cells with an IC50 of 26 nM. Rofecoxib is a time-dependent inhibitor of purified human recombinant COX-2 with an IC50 of 0.34 μM. Rofecoxib causes inhibition of purified human COX-1 in a non-time-dependent manner. In a human whole blood assay, Rofecoxib selectively inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced, COX-2-derived PGE2 synthesis with an IC50 value of 0.53 μM compared with an IC50 value of 18.8 μM for the inhibition of COX-1-derived thromboxane B2 synthesis after blood coagulation. Rofecoxib moderately inhibits phenacetin O-deethylation with an IC50 of 23 μM. And a 30-minute preincubation with microsomes and NADPH considerably increases the inhibitory effect of Rofecoxib with an IC50 of 4.2 μM. Inactivation of CYP1A2 by rofecoxib requires NADPH, and is characterized by a K _i of 4.8 μM.

In vivo

Rofecoxib potently inhibits carrageenan-induced paw edema, carrageenan-induced paw hyperalgesia, lipopolysaccharide-induced pyresis with IC50 of 1.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg and 0.24 mg/kg, respectively. Rofecoxib also blocks adjuvant-induced arthritis with an IC50 of 0.74 mg/kg/day. Rofecoxib also has a protective effect on adjuvant-induced destruction of cartilage and bone structures in rats. Oral administration of rofecoxib decreases portal pressure in rats that are treated with CCl4 for 8 weeks. In addition, rofecoxib administration reduces the number of activated HSCs and to downregulate hepatic protein levels of three detected types of collagen, laminin, VEGF and CTGF in CCl4-treated rats.
