At Ace Therapeutics, we specialize in the development of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. With a deep understanding of the critical role COX-2 plays in inflammation and disease progression, our team of experts is dedicated to tailoring drug development solutions to address diseases such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and liver cirrhosis.
COX-2 is significantly upregulated and contributes to the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal and liver diseases such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and liver cirrhosis. Its overexpression is associated with increased inflammation, cellular proliferation, and resistance to apoptosis, all of which can exacerbate disease progression. Selective COX-2 inhibitors have the potential to mitigate inflammation and tumorigenesis while minimizing the gastrointestinal side effects associated with non-selective COX inhibitors, thus offering a targeted therapeutic strategy for managing gastrointestinal and liver diseases.
