BackgroundCelecoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with anti-inflammatory, analgestic, and antipyretic properties. It is approved for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute pain 1–3. Celecoxib has also shown promise in prevention of cancer, and has been used as an adjunct to surgery to reduce the number of adenomatous colorectal polyps in patients with the hereditary colon cancer susceptibility syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) 4–6. The anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties of celecoxib result from inhibition of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis by selective inhibition of PG G/H synthase-2 (encoded by gene PTGS2). The two PTGS isoforms, PTGS1 and PTGS2, are bisfunctional enzymes with both cyclooxygenase (COX) and hydroperoxidase activities, but they are commonly referred to as COX; see (‘Pharmacodynamics’ section) 1, 7, 8. Celecoxib is a member of the subclass of NSAIDs, which were purposefully designed as COX-2-selective inhibitors (pdCOX-2 inhibitors) and that are frequently called coxibs 9, 10. Most traditional NSAIDs (tNSAIDs) inhibit both COX isoforms; however, some of them show a degree of COX-2 selectivity that is similar to that of celecoxib, although they were developed before COX-2 was discovered 11. pdCOX-2 inhibitors provide anti-inflammatory effects that are comparable with tNSAIDs that inhibit both COX isoforms while reducing the risk of serious gastrointestinal toxicity.
