6-ROX

6-ROX is a selective fluorescent probe and potential inhibitor of COX-2. 6-ROX binds to the active site of COX-2 and inhibits its conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. 6-ROX is often used in the field of optical imaging related to tumors and inflammation, and helps detect diseased tissues with high expression of COX-2[1][2].
