5.2 Mechanism of Action

Depression and schizophrenia are inflammatory diseases. Increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandin E (PGE) have repeatedly been described in major depression. COX-2 inhibitors inhibit production of both. Cimicoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor. The mechanism by which some COX-2 inhibitors work in depression could be linked to their anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
