Etoricoxib HCl is a synthetic, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Etoricoxib specifically binds to and inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2, resulting in inhibition of the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins.
Parecoxib is a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor used for the short-term treatment of postoperative pain in adults. Parecoxib is a water-soluble and injectable prodrug of valdecoxib. Parecoxib is a COX2 selective inhibitor in the same category as celecoxib and r
Celecoxib carboxylic acid is an inactive metabolite of the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib .1,2It is formed from celecoxib primarily by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C9. 1.Liu, H., Huang, X., Shen, J., et al.Inhibitory mode of 1,5-diarylpyrazole derivatives against cyclooxygenase-2 and cyclooxygenase-1: Molecular docking and 3D QSAR analysesJ.

Celecoxib carboxylic acid acyl-β-D-glucuronide is a phase II metabolite of celecoxib . Celecoxib is an anti-inflammatory compound from the diaryl heterocycle class that selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2; IC50s = 22.9 and 0.05 μM for COX-1 and COX-2, respectively). Celecoxib carboxylic acid acyl-β-D-glucuronide is a minor metabolite, accounting for 2% of the administered dose in human urine and rat bile.
