COX-2 Inhibitors - Biology, Therapeutic Agents & Markets
Lead Discovery, Nov 2004, Pages: 59
Despite the withdrawal of Vioxx (Rofecoxib) from the market in November 2004, considerable activity continues to be reported relating to the development of COX-2 inhibitors. Future priorities will be to demonstrate the safety of COX-2 inhibitors as a drug class; to better understand past problems and; to optimize future agents both with respect to traditional indications (inflammation/hyperalgesia) and the next wave of novel applications including Alzheimer's disease and chemoprevention.
This report was written to help all involved in the drug development sector to understand the biology surrounding the COX-2 inhibibitor class and the (pre)clinical profiles of COX-2 inhibitors in advanced development or on the market. The report places a particular focus on the efficacy and adverse effects of these agents and offers a non-biased and critical evaluation of exisitng data. The report also provides a detailed evaluation of the COX-2 inhibitor market with revenue forecasts to 2010
