Indobufen

Indobufen is an inhibitor of platelet aggregation and is a reversible platelet cyclooxygenase (Cox) activity inhibitor. Indobufen suppresses thromboxane A2 (TxA2) synthesis. Indobufen down-regulates tissue factor (TF) in monocytes. (In Vitro) :Indobufen suppresses TxA2 but not PGE2 synthesis in LPS-stimulated monocytes. Indobufen causes the extent of ERK1/2 phosphorylation, whereas the levels of phosphorylated p38 are unaltered. Indobufen does not affect both Cox-1 and Cox-2 protein, whereas Indobufen reduces TxB2 levels.
