Administering carotenoids, and in particular xanthophyll carotenoids, or analogs or derivatives of astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycoxanthin, lycophyll, or lycopene to a subject undergoing treatment with COX-2 inhibitor drugs may reduce at least a portion of the adverse side effects associated with administration of COX-2 selective inhibitor drugs. The carotenoids, or analogs or derivatives thereof may be administered to a subject prior to, at the same time as, or after the commencement of COX-2 selective inhibitor drug therapy. The carotenoids, or analogs or derivatives thereof may be administered to a subject concurrently with COX-2 selective inhibitor drugs therapy. The carotenoids, or analogs or derivatives thereof may be incorporated into pharmaceutical preparation in combination with the COX-2 selective inhibitor drug or may be administered separately. Administration of the analogs or derivatives described herein may reduce peroxidation of LDL and other lipids in the serum and plasma cell membranes of subjects undergoing COX-2 selective inhibitor drug therapy. Administration of the analogs or derivatives described herein may reduce the incidence of deleterious clinical cardiovascular events undergoing COX-2 selective inhibitor drug therapy.
向正在接受COX-2抑制剂治疗的受试者施用类胡萝卜素,特别是黄质类胡萝卜素,或者是天然类胡萝卜素的类似物或衍生物,如虾青素、叶黄素、玉米黄质、莱科黄素、莱科菲或番茄红素,可能会减少与使用COX-2选择性抑制剂药物相关的不良副作用的至少一部分。这些类胡萝卜素,或者是其类似物或衍生物,可以在受试者开始接受COX-2选择性抑制剂药物治疗之前、同时或之后进行施用。这些类胡萝卜素,或者是其类似物或衍生物,可以与COX-2选择性抑制剂药物治疗同时进行施用。这些类胡萝卜素,或者是其类似物或衍生物,可以与COX-2选择性抑制剂药物组合在一起制成药物制剂,也可以单独施用。施用本文所述的类似物或衍生物可能会减少正在接受COX-2选择性抑制剂药物治疗的受试者血清和血浆细胞膜中低密度脂蛋白和其他脂质的过氧化。施用本文所述的类似物或衍生物可能会减少正在接受COX-2选择性抑制剂药物治疗的受试者发生有害的临床心血管事件的几率。
