Molecule Details
Research Area: Neurological Disease
Biological Activity:
Sulindac (Clinoril) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug of the arylalkanoic acid class. Like other NSAIDs, it is useful in the treatment of acute or chronic inflammatory conditions. Sulindac is a prodrug, derived from sulfinylindene that is converted in the body to an active NSAID. More specifically, the agent is converted by liver enzymes to a sulfide which is excreted in the bile and then reabsorbed from the intestine. This is thought to help maintain constant blood levels with reduced gastrointestinal side effects. [1]
