indomethacin and Herpes Simplex Virus Infection

indomethacin has been researched along with Herpes Simplex Virus Infection in 14 studies

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.

"In this report we describe results showing that both arachidonic acid (20:4) release and prostaglandin (PG) synthesis in herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2)-transformed tumor-derived rat fibrosarcoma (RFS) cells are inhibited by indomethacin (cyclooxygenase inhibitor)."3.67Studies of phospholipase and cyclooxygenase activities in herpes simplex virus type 2-transformed rat cells.

" It was not made in UV-HSV-stimulated cultures grown in presence of 2 X 10(-6) M indomethacin nor in cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained during convalescence or quiescence (greater than 4 days from onset of clinical symptoms) or from seropositive controls without a history of recurrent HSV disease."3.67Reactivation of herpes simplex virus is associated with production of a low molecular weight factor that inhibits lymphokine activity in vitro.
