A molecular rational basis for the COX-2/COX-1 selectivity of lumiracoxib using molecular docking approach is described. The COX-2 docking analysis for lumiracoxib and the diclofenac analogue revealed a similar binding mode, in contrast with the COX-1 docking analysis which revealed a different binding orientation for both inhibitors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
