Cancer, also known as a malignant tumour or malignant neoplasm, is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor Nimesulide inhibits the proliferation of various types of cancer cells mainly via COX-2 independent mechanisms, which makes it a good lead compound for anti-cancer drug development.
There are more than 100 types of cancer, including breast cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and lymphoma. Symptoms vary depending on the type.
A series of new nimesulide analogs were synthesized based on the structure–function analysis generated previously. It displayed very potent anti-cancer activity.
significantly suppresses the growth of multiple cancer. By usng Nimesulide the sizes of the colon carcinomas were also decreased.
Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrate the good bioavailability of the compound. A set of non-COX-2 active Nimesulide anti-cancer derivatives were synthesized. It works as a good lead compound for anti-cancer drug development
