Abstract
Was achieved a study involving Molecular docking method for selection of piroxicam and meloxicam complexes of Co (II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) as inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). [Co(HMel)2(H2O)2] – COX-2 complex with the lowest total energy (-1616.2 KJ/mol) was selected as a possible inhibitor of COX-2..
Keywords
COX-2, Molecular Docking, Complexes, Piroxicam, Meloxicam.
