The anti-inflammatory characteristics of ER-34122 are considered to be superior to those of COX inhibitors such as indomethacin, because in addition to its inhibitory activity on the COX pathway, ER-34122 inhibits LOX products generation, as revealed by the inhibition of edema formation or polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration in the arachidonic acid-induced ear inflammation model.
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.
