摘   要:

Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) is the terminal synthase responsible for the synthesis of the pro-tumorigenic prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)). mPGES-1 is overexpressed in a wide variety of cancers. Since its discovery in 1997 by Bengt Samuelsson and collaborators, the enzyme has been the object of over 200 peer-reviewed articles. Although today mPGES-1 is considered a validated and promising therapeutic target for anticancer drug discovery, challenges in inhibitor design and selectivity are such that up to this date there are only a few published records of small-molecule inhibitors targeting the enzyme and exhibiting some in vivo anticancer activity. This review summarizes the structures, and the in vitro and in vivo activities of these novel mPGES-1 inhibitors. Challenges that have been encountered are also discussed.
