The invention provides an application of
celecoxib in preparation of a medicament for treating olfactory disorder, relates to the technical field of
biomedicine, and is technically characterized in that the application of
celecoxib in preparation of a medicament for treating olfactory disorder is provided, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicament, namely
celecoxib, is a selective inhibitor of epoxidase-2, and can be used for preparing a medicament for treating olfactory disorder. The
traditional Chinese medicine composition is mainly used for treating
osteoarthritis and
rheumatoid arthritis. The COX-2 is a rate-limiting
enzyme for synthesizing
prostaglandin, and the expression level of the COX-2 is up-regulated when an
organism is subjected to harmful stimulation (such as
inflammation,
oxidative stress, autoimmune response, mechanical injury and the like) and is induced by a
transforming growth factor TGF-beta. In addition to regulating
inflammatory response, the compound also can participate in regulating
cell growth, migration, proliferation,
autophagy and
apoptosis. An olfactory dysfunction model induced by
methimazole (MMI) is established, and the potential
treatment effect of the celecoxib on the olfactory dysfunction is provided on the basis of behavioral and histological experiments, so that the celecoxib can be proved to be capable of preparing the
medicine for treating the olfactory dysfunction.
