GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 620349
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Ptgs2
Name: prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2
Acc ID: CHEBI:6432
Term: levamisole
Definition: A 6-phenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole that has S configuration. It is used (generally as the monohydrochloride salt) to treat parasitic worm infections in pigs, sheep and cattle and was formerly used in humans as an adjuvant to chemotherapy for the treatment of various cancers. It is also widely used as an adulterant to coccaine.
Chemical ID: MESH:D007978
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
