Frame the target before identity details

Structured disease, protein, and project context should read before the lower-level identity rail.

As of 2026-09-14

Cyclooxygenase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by rheumatic disease. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 23 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P35354. Start with rheumatic disease, then reuse UniProt P35354 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
rheumatic disease

Cyclooxygenase shows approved-linked disease relevance led by rheumatic disease. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 23 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with rheumatic disease because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include ACEMETACIN, APAZONE, BENZYDAMINE, DEXIBUPROFEN. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
