NO-indomethacin is a hybrid molecule of indomethacin and a nitric oxide (NO) donor. This drug design combines the anti-inflammatory properties of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with the gastrointestinal protective effects of NO. Compounds of this class retain their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, but have reduced gastrointestinal and kidney toxicity compared to the NSAID alone. NO-indomethacin also enhances the cancer chemopreventative activity of indomethacin. NO-indomethacin exhibits an IC50 of 82 μM, compared to >1,000 μM for indomethacin alone, for the inhibition of pancreatic cancer cell (PaCa-2) growth after 24 hours in culture.
O-Desmethyl-N-deschlorobenzoyl indomethacin is a metabolite of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and COX inhibitor indomethacin .1It is formed from indomethacin in isolated rabbit hepatocytes. O-Desmethyl-N-deschlorobenzoyl indomethacin (600 μM) decreases the viability of HL-60 leukemia cells when cultured with glucose oxidase.2It has also been used in the synthesis of prostaglandin D2receptor antagonists.3 1.Evans, M.A., Papazafiratou, C., Bhat, R., et al.Indomethacin metabolism in isolated neonatal and fetal rabbit hepatocytesPediatr.

Indomethacin sodium, a powerful and orally active inhibitor of COX1 2, exhibits IC50 values of 18 nM and 26 nM for COX-1 and COX-2, respectively. Apart from its potent anti-inflammatory effects, this compound possesses notable anticancer and anti-infective activities. Since it has such versatile attributes, it finds useful applicability in cancer, inflammation, and viral infection research [1] [2] [3].
Indomethacin salicylate is an antiinflammatory drug. It has shown remarkable inhibitory effects on carrageenin edema, ultraviolet erythema and adjuvant arthritis.
Indomethacin acyl glucuronide, a metabolite of the COX inhibitor indomethacin (1), embodies an essential byproduct formed during the metabolic processing of indomethacin.
