CRIS Current Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishIn addition to inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated biosynthesis of prostanoids, various widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) enhance endocannabinoid signaling by blocking the anandamide-degrading membrane enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). The X-ray structure of FAAH in complex with the NSAID carprofen, along with sitedirected mutagenesis, enzyme activity assays, and NMR analysis, has revealed the molecular details of this interaction, providing information that may guide the design of dual FAAH−COX inhibitors with superior analgesic efficacy.
