Abstract

Inflammation is the body’s defense mechanism against external stressors. However, diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, diabetes, allergies, and infections have all been linked to excessive physiopathological damage. Anti-inflammatory drugs are used to treat inflammation symptoms, which mostly include pain, an increase in body temperature, flushing, and edema. It has been determined in this case to focus on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibition while develo** novel anti-inflammatory medications. The treatment of inflammatory illnesses with the least amount of adverse effects possible could be achieved by selectively inhibiting both cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX). Recently, approaches for computer-aided drug design (CADD) have been employed with effectiveness in the procedures of develo** medications. This article presents a thorough analysis of structure-based drug design proposals for the creation of novel LOX inhibitors and COX inhibitors.
