To investigate anti-inflammatory effects of lornoxicam in vitro on COX-1/COX-2, on NO formation from iNOS and on the formation of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8.
The analgesic NSAID lornoxicam inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX)-1/-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and the formation of interleukin (IL)-6 in vitro.
