Abstract
The arachidonic acid metabolizing enzymes, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5- lipoxygenase (5-LOX), are both highly expressed during the carcinogenesis in colons. Cigarette smoking promotes these carcinogenic processes at the early stage during adenoma formation. In this article, the involvement of COX-2 and 5-LOX, alongside with the dual COX/5-LOX inhibitors in colorectal cancer development is introduced. The co-regulation of 5-LOX and COX-2 in colon cancer growth and its relationship with cigarette smoke and hyaluronic acid-CD44v6 is also described. It is envisaged that dual inhibition of 5-LOX/COX could be the most promising therapeutic option for the treatment of colorectal cancer in humans.
Keywords: 5-LOX, COX-2, cigarette smoke, colon cancer, lincofelone, hyaluronic acid.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
