COX/5-LO-IN-1 is primarily used in research settings to study its dual inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) enzymes. It is valuable in investigating inflammatory pathways, as these enzymes play a critical role in the production of pro-inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. By blocking both pathways, it helps researchers understand the interplay between these enzymes in conditions such as arthritis, asthma, and other inflammatory diseases. Additionally, it serves as a tool for developing potential therapeutic agents aimed at reducing inflammation with a broader mechanism of action compared to single-enzyme inhibitors. Its application extends to preclinical studies for evaluating efficacy and safety in models of chronic inflammatory disorders.
