Anti-inflammatory activity and enhanced COX-2 selectivity of nitric oxide-donating zinc(ii)–NSAID complexes

Abstract

Zinc(II)–NSAID complexes supported by NO-donating 1,10-phenanthrolinefuroxan exhibit anti-inflammatory activities through selective inhibition of the COX-2 pathway. The strategy represents a general procedure to convert non-selective or COX-1 selective NSAIDs to selective COX-2 inhibitors.
