This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

  • Enzyme Mediated Inflammation: Epidemiology and Therapeutic Implications Parteek Prasher*
    Available online www.jocpr.com Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research, 2016, 8(9):89-100 ISSN : 0975-7384 Review Article CODEN(USA) : JCPRC5 Enzyme Mediated Inflammation: Epidemiology and Therapeutic implications Parteek Prasher* Assistant Professor of Chemistry, University of Petroleum and Energy Study, Energy acres, Uttrakhand, India ___________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The identification of various enzymes participating in the arachidonic acid metabolism and recognition of inflammatory metabolites led to systematic studies for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs. Starting with the stimulatory role of phospholipases to release arachidonic acid from phospholipids, over-expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes cause more than normal production of the respective metabolites. Excessive production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes leads to the manifestation of acute to chronic inflammation in humans. The consequent ailments are expressed in the form of asthma, atherosclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis and cancer. Targeting the induced isoform of cyclooxygenase viz. cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-LOX enzyme has opened new aspects for capping the enzyme mediated inflammation. A number of such aspects have been discussed in this comprehensive review. Keywords: COX; Cyclooxygenase; LOX; Lipoxygenase; Arachidonic acid ___________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION According to a recent survey of the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer causes around 13% of the total deaths worldwide and if it continues rising, it is estimated to cause 13.1 million deaths in 2030 [1]. Moreover, the reason for about 15% of the total cancer deaths has been reported [2] to be associated with chronic inflammation. Hence, an obvious way out to minimize cancer deaths is to put control over the inflammatory conditions.

  • Metabolism Pathways of Arachidonic Acids: Mechanisms and Potential Therapeutic Targets
    Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy www.nature.com/sigtrans REVIEW ARTICLE OPEN Metabolism pathways of arachidonic acids: mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets Bei Wang1,2,3, Lujin Wu1,2, Jing Chen1,2, Lingli Dong3, Chen Chen 1,2, Zheng Wen1,2, Jiong Hu4, Ingrid Fleming4 and Dao Wen Wang1,2 The arachidonic acid (AA) pathway plays a key role in cardiovascular biology, carcinogenesis, and many inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, arthritis, etc. Esterified AA on the inner surface of the cell membrane is hydrolyzed to its free form by phospholipase A2 (PLA2), which is in turn further metabolized by cyclooxygenases (COXs) and lipoxygenases (LOXs) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes to a spectrum of bioactive mediators that includes prostanoids, leukotrienes (LTs), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (diHETEs), eicosatetraenoic acids (ETEs), and lipoxins (LXs). Many of the latter mediators are considered to be novel preventive and therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancers, and inflammatory diseases. This review sets out to summarize the physiological and pathophysiological importance of the AA metabolizing pathways and outline the molecular mechanisms underlying the actions of AA related to its three main metabolic pathways in CVD and cancer progression will provide valuable insight for developing new therapeutic drugs for CVD and anti-cancer agents such as inhibitors of EETs or 2J2. Thus, we herein present a synopsis of AA metabolism in human health, cardiovascular and cancer biology, and the signaling pathways involved in these processes. To explore the role of the AA metabolism and potential therapies, we also introduce the current newly clinical studies targeting AA metabolisms in the different disease conditions.

  • Cyclooxygenase
    COX Cyclooxygenase Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Pharmacological inhibition of COX can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. Drugs, like Aspirin, that inhibit cyclooxygenase activity have been available to the public for about 100 years. Two cyclooxygenase isoforms have been identified and are referred to as COX-1 and COX-2. Under many circumstances the COX-1 enzyme is produced constitutively (i.e., gastric mucosa) whereas COX-2 is inducible (i.e., sites of inflammation). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, exert their effects through inhibition of COX. The main COX inhibitors are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). www.MedChemExpress.com 1 COX Inhibitors, Antagonists, Activators & Modulators (+)-Catechin hydrate (-)-Catechin Cat.
