Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Zidometacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that was initially developed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. It is a potent inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins, substances that contribute to inflammation and pain. However, zidometacin's clinical development was halted due to concerns about its potential for gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration and bleeding. Despite its limited clinical use, zidometacin remains of interest to researchers due to its unique chemical structure and its ability to inhibit COX enzymes. Further research is needed to explore its potential therapeutic applications and to investigate its mechanisms of action and safety profile. '

indomethacin
Indomethacin: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES.. indometacin : A member of the class of indole-3-acetic acids that is indole-3-acetic acid in which the indole ring is substituted at positions 1, 2 and 5 by p-chlorobenzoyl, methyl, and methoxy groups, respectively. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it is used in the treatment of musculoskeletal and joint disorders including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, bursitis and tendinitis.		9.0431aromatic ether;
