Mechanism of action

Celebrex - NSAIDs. Specific inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).
COX-2 is induced in response to the inflammatory process. This leads to the synthesis and accumulation of inflammatory prostanoids, in particular, prostaglandin E2that causes inflammation, swelling and pain. Anti-inflammatory effect of the drug is due to blocking the production of inflammatory prostanoids by inhibiting COX-2.
Data from in vivo and ex vivo studies indicate that celecoxib has a very low affinity for the enzyme cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1). Therefore, when used in therapeutic doses, celecoxib has no effect on prostaglandins synthesized as a result of COX-1 activation, and therefore does not affect the normal physiological processes associated with COX-1 in tissues, primarily in the tissues of the stomach, intestines and platelets.
