Structural approach for COX-2 inhibition

Catherine Michaux, Caroline Charlier

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The design of selective COX-2 inhibitors is a new approach to obtain potent anti-inflammatory drugs but with less side-effects. Several families of such inhibitors were reported in literature. In this review, the drug design processes used to understand their binding mode and the origin of selectivity of these compounds are described.
