While celecoxib is a COX-2 selective NSAID, it is worth noting that the relative selectivity of celecoxib for COX-2 pales in comparison with that of rofecoxib
Celecoxib predominantly inhibits the COX-2 enzyme; referred to as selective COX-2 inhibition. Celecoxib is therefore less likely to produce
Celebrex (celecoxib) is considered a COX-2 selective NSAID and works primarily via inhibition of COX-2. It is the only COX-2 inhibitor currently

COX-1 vs. COX-2 inhibition and bleeding risk. The COX enzymes are meloxicam and etodolac are more COX-2 selective than celecoxib. Meloxicam's
Selective COX-2 inhibitors are NSAIDs that block more COX-2 than COX-1. Celecoxib (Celebrex) is currently the only selective COX-2 inhibitor available by
Most NSAIDS inhibit the two forms of cyclooxygenase (COX -1 and COX-2) but celecoxib is a selective inhibitor of COX-2. Both COX-1 and COX-2 are involved in
Celecoxib primarily inhibits COX-2. COX-2 is considered an inducible isoenzyme, induced during pain and inflammatory stimuli. Inhibition of COX-
Biological Activity. Celecoxib is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor (IC50 values are 15 and 0.04 μM for COX-1 and COX-2 respectively).
