In Silico Analysis and Molecular Docking Studies of COX-2 Inhibitors for Anti-Inflammatory Activity
Abstract: Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used to treat pain, lower fevers, and control inflammation, they frequently cause gastrointestinal side effects because they inhibit the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. Despite their effectiveness and lack of gastrointestinal side effects, selective COX-2 inhibitors have been linked to cardiovascular risks. To find new COX-2 inhibitors that are safer and more effective, this study uses in silico techniques, such as molecular docking and …
