Indomethacin - CAS 53-86-1 - Calbiochem

General description

A cell-permeable, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic agent. Non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 740 nM for COX-1; IC₅₀ = 970 nM for COX-2). Inhibits phospholipase A₂ (IC₅₀ = 145 µM). Reported to reduce Aβ₄₂ levels independently of COX activity.

A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, cell permeable, antipyretic agent. Non-selective COX inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 740 nM for COX-1; IC₅₀ = 970 nM for COX-2). Inhibits phospholipase A₂ (IC₅₀ = 145 µM). Strongly inhibits insoluble transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibril formation and suppresses production of Aβ-peptide and secreted form of APP by inhibition of APP mRNA levels in NG108-15 cells.
