NCX 2057 a novel NO-releasing derivative of ferulic acid suppresses inflammatory and nociceptive responses in in vitro and in vivo models

摘要

Background and purpose:We previously reported that NCX 2057, a compound comprising a nitric oxide (NO)-releasing moiety and the natural antioxidant, ferulic acid (FA), inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators through NO-mediated gene regulation. Here, we have assessed the activities of NCX 2057 in models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain, and characterized its effects on cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2.
