Meloxicam

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve the symptoms of arthritis (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. However, this medicine does not cure arthritis and will only help you as long as you continue to take it. (In Vitro) :Meloxicam (Compound 5) is a non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent, inhibits COX activity, with IC50s of 0.49 μM and 36.6 μM for COX-2 and COX-1, respectively. Meloxicam inhibits COX+ tumor cells, but shows no cytotoxicity on CF41.Mg or MDCK cells at 0.25-25 μg/mL. Furthermore, Meloxicam in combination with doxorubicin, has no synergistic effect on CF41.Mg cells. Meloxicam (0.25 μg/mL) decreases CF41.Mg cell migration and invasion, induces decrease in MMP-2 expression, and increases β-catenin phophorylation in CF41.Mg cells, but does not affect the CF41.Mg cell apoptosis. (In Vivo) :Meloxicam (10 mg/kg) alone or in combination with rutin significantly decreases paw liking time on 1st day by 55% and 49% compared with the formalin-treated group, respectively, however the combination reduces time non-significantly on 3rd day in mice. Meloxicam alone or in combination with rutin also decreases relative liver weights, reduces MDA contents, induces liver SOD activities, hampers IL-1β content, and significantly reduces the number of positive caspase-3 immunoreactive cells in mice.
