Abstract

Microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) has been recognized as novel, promising drug target for anti-inflammatory and anticancer drugs. mPGES-1 catalyzes the synthesis of the inducible prostaglandin E2 in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli, rendering this enzyme extremely interesting in drug discovery process owing to the drastic reduction of the severe side effects typical for traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory ...
