Indomethacin farnesil
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Indomethacin farnesil is an orally active proagent of Indomethacin. Indomethacin (Indometacin) is a potent, blood-brain permeable and nonselective inhibitor of COX1 and COX2, with IC50s of 18 nM and 26 nM for human COX-1 and COX-2, respectively, in CHO cells. Indomethacin disrupts autophagic flux by disturbing the normal functioning of lysosomes.

Biological Activity
Indometacin farnesil (IMF) is a newly synthesized prodrug of indomethacin designed to reduce the occurrence of side-effects by esterification of the carboxyl group of indomethacin with farnesol. This modification is intended to decrease the extraction and subsequent rapid metabolism of the drug by the liver, so that lymphatic absorption would become a major route, and it was also anticipates that hydrolytic enzymes present in plasma and tissues, including inflamed tissue, would release indomethacin effectively from IMF[2].
