Indomethacin (sodium)

Indomethacin (Indometacin) sodium is a potent, orally active COX1/2 inhibitor with IC50 values of 18 nM and 26 nM for COX-1 and COX-2, respectively. Indomethacin sodium has anticancer activity and anti-infective activity. Indomethacin sodium can be used for cancer, inflammation and viral infection research.[1][2][3].
