Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors can be found in numerous nourishments. Curcumin (diferuloyl methane) is one of the components of turmeric, a yellow spice that is frequently used in the Indian cuisine, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties [14]. Resveratrol, a natural product derived from grapes, is frequently used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. In 1997 its antiinflammatory properties have been shown in an animal model for the first time, at that time inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 was thought to be responsible for that effect [5]. Later it could not only be shown that these effects are depending on inhibition of COX-2 [15], but also that they were completely independent of effects on COX-1 [8].
