Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors had been extensively used to treat inflammatory disorders. However, the increased incidence of cardiovascular side effects had limited the usage of the drugs. The emergence of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) as newly recognized therapeutic target for inflammation and pain gave new hope to develop anti-inflammatory drug with minimal adverse effects. Thus, selective inhibition of COX-2 and mPGES-1 is expected to provide anti-inflammatory effects without the side effects. Chalcone is a compound derived from nature with various pharmacological activities. Based on its favorable activity, chalcone framework had been used to identify novel derivatives for anti-inflammatory properties. Hence, the present study aim... view moreĀ»
