Indomethacin
Application Notes
Inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (prostaglandin H synthase 1 and 2). An anti-inflammatory (by blocking prostaglandin biosynthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase), antipyretic and analgesic agent. May help prevent the stimulation of tumor cell growth and the suppression of immune surveillance caused by cyclooxygenase's ability to convert arachidonic acid to pro-inflammatory substances such as prostaglandins. Indomethacin is metabolized by the liver and the metabolites excreted in the urine.
