| 6-METHOXY-2-NAPHTHYLACETIC ACID Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Yellow Solid | | Uses | A metabolite of Nabumetone. A competitive, non-selective COX inhibitor | | Uses | A metabolite of Nabumetone. A competitive, non-selective COX inhibitor. | | Definition | ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid consisting of 2-naphthylacetic acid having a methoxy substituent at the 6-position. The active metabolite of the prodrug nabumetone. | | Biological Activity | 6-methoxy naphthalene acetic acid is a competitive and non-selective cox inhibitor with ki values of 21 and 19 μm for ovine cox-1 and -2, respectively [1][2][3].cyclooxygenase (cox), also known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (ptgs, pghs), is an enzyme responsible for formation of prostanoids, including thromboxane and prostaglandins such as prostacyclin. cox-1 is the constitutive isoform and is mainly responsible for the synthesis of cytoprotective prostaglandins in the gastrointestinal tract (gi) and of the proaggregatory thromboxane in blood platelets. cox-2 is inducible and short-lived that is stimulated by endotoxin, cytokines, and mitogens. cox-2 plays important roles in prostaglandin biosynthesis in inflammatory cells the central nervous system [1][2].6-methoxy naphthalene acetic acid (6-mna) is a competitive and non-selective cox inhibitor with ki values of 21 and 19 μm for ovine cox-1 and -2, respectively [1][2]. 6-mna is a metabolite of nebumetome. 6-mna inhibited human recombinant cox-1 and -2 with ic50 values of 70 and 20 μm, respectively [1]. | | references | [1]. barnett j, chow j, ives d, et al. purification, characterization and selective inhibition of human prostaglandin g/h synthase 1 and 2 expressed in the baculovirus system. biochim biophys acta. 1994 nov 16;1209(1):130-9.[2]. johnson jl, wimsatt j, buckel sd, et al. purification and characterization of prostaglandin h synthase-2 from sheep placental cotyledons. arch biochem biophys. 1995 dec 1;324(1):26-34.[3]. laneuville o1, breuer dk, dewitt dl, et al. differential inhibition of human prostaglandin endoperoxide h synthases-1 and -2 by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. j pharmacol exp ther. 1994 nov;271(2):927-34. |
