Dual 5-LOX/COX inhibitors are potential new drugs to treat inflammation. They act by blocking the formation of both prostaglandins and leucotrienes but do not affect lipoxin formation. Such combined inhibition avoids some of the disadvantages of selective COX-2 inhibitors and spares the gatrointestinal mucosa.
双重5-脂氧合酶/环氧化酶抑制剂是治疗炎症的潜在新药。它们通过阻断前列腺素和白三烯的形成发挥作用,但不影响脂氧素的形成。这种联合抑制避免了选择性环氧化酶-2抑制剂的一些缺点,并保护了胃肠道黏膜。
