SC-560 is a highly selective (700-fold selective over COX-2) and potent (IC50 = 9 nM) inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-1(COX-1).1 SC-560 inhibited TNFa-induced PGE2 synthesis in neurons and, PGE2 and thromboxane A2 synthesis in human monocytes and platelets (IC50s = 1.8 nM and 2.5 nM respectively) indicating non-selective COX inhibition. SC-560 was able to inhibit PGE2 synthesis in COX-1-deficient neurons indicating a COX-1 independent mechanism. This unselective COX inhibition was only observed in whole cells - it remained COX-1 specific in cell lysates.2
