Drug common name | Exisulind |
INN | exisulind |
Description | Sulindac sulfone is a sulfone metabolite of sulindac that inhibits cell growth by inducing apoptosis independently of cyclooxygenase inhibition. It inhibits the development and induces regression of premalignant adenomatous polyps. Lipoxygenase and Cox-2 inhibitor. It has a role as a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor, an EC 1.13.11.34 (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase) inhibitor and an apoptosis inducer. It is a sulfone, a monocarboxylic acid and an organofluorine compound. It is functionally related to a sulindac. |
