This invention provides novel cyclooxygenase-2 selective agents that are particularly useful as imaging probes in non-invasive imaging techniques, such as PET and SPECT. Preferred cyclooxygenase-2 selective agents inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 activity with greater potency and specificity than conventional cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. Other aspects of the invention include pharmaceutical compositions including the cyclooxygenase-2 selective agents as well as methods for detecting and/or inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2. These methods are particularly useful for diagnosing and treating disorders, such as inflammation, which is characterized by elevated cyclooxygenase-2 levels.
本发明提供了新颖的环氧合酶-2选择性药物,特别适用于非侵入性成像技术,如PET和SPECT的成像探针。优选的环氧合酶-2选择性药物比传统的环氧合酶-2抑制剂具有更强的效力和特异性。本发明的其他方面包括包括环氧合酶-2选择性药物的制药组合物以及检测和/或抑制环氧合酶-2的方法。这些方法特别适用于诊断和治疗疾病,如以升高的环氧合酶-2水平为特征的炎症。
