N-(4-acetamidophenyl)-Indomethacin amide

Description

N- 4-acetamidophenyl -indomethacin amide N-4-AIA is one of several aromatic amides of indomethacin reported to be potent and selective reversible inhibitors of COX-2.1 N-4-AIA inhibits human recombinant and ovine COX-2 with IC50 values of 0.12 and 0.625 ?M, respectively. It is about 400 times less potent as an inhibitor of human recombinant COX-1 and 80 times less potent as an inhibitor of ovine COX-1 than ovine COX-2.
