Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is the major PG synthesized at sites of inflammation and plays an important role in different inflammatory diseases. It acts as a mediator of pain and inflammation and promotes bone destruction. The increased synthesis of PGE2 during inflammation can be accounted for by increased expression of both cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1).{11266,12923,11537} CAY10526 is an inhibitor of PGE2 production through the selective modulation of mPGES-1 expression. It dose-dependently inhibits PGE2 production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells with an IC50 value of 1.8 µM without any effect on COX-2 expression.{14793}
