DescriptionIndomethacin is a potent but non-selective inhibitor of both COX-1 and COX-2 in sheep and humans. Structurally, indomethacin is a substituted indole acetic acid, wherein the carboxylate can be derivatized as an ester or amide. These derivatives show enhanced selectivity for the COX-2 isoform. For example, the IC50 for indomethacin heptyl ester for the inhibition of human recombinant COX-2 is 0.04 μM, making it more than 1,700 times more potent as an inhibitor of COX-2 than COX-1. While indomethacin itself has an IC50 of 0.05 μM for the inhibition of COX-2, it also inhibits COX-1 with a corresponding IC50 of 0.67 μM.
UsesIndomethacin heptyl ester is a selective COX-2 inhibitor with IC50 of 0.04 μM, exhibits anti-inflammatory activity[1].
