Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs sulindac

Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory dmgs (NSAIDs) include, among the numerous agents of this class, aspirin (acetylsaflcyhc acid), the arylacetic acids indomethacin and sulindac, and the arylpropionic acids, (5)-(147) and (R)-(148) ibuprofen, (5)-(149) and (R)- (150), flurbiprofen naproxen (41), and fenoprofen (see Analgesics, antipyretics, and antiinflammatory agents Salicylic acid and related compounds). [Pg.255]

There are several hundred reported NF-kB inhibitors (see www.nf-kb.org for a complete and updated list). These inhibitors include natural products, chemicals, metabolites, and synthetic compounds. A large majority of these products, in particular commonly used antiinflammatory drugs such as corticosteroids and the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSADDs) aspirin, sulindac, ibuprofen and sulphasalazine, have the ability to partially inhibit NF-kB activity in cell culture. However, the precise mechanism of action and the specific molecular targets of most of these inhibitors remain unclear. [Pg.888]

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the mainstay of therapy because of their excellent efficacy and minimal toxicity with shortterm use. There is little evidence to support one NSAID as more efficacious than another, and three drugs (indomethacin, naproxen, and sulindac) have FDA approval for this indication (Table 1-1). [Pg.16]

The development of aspirin was a significant landmark in the history of medicine because it stimulated the development of a family of medicines, collectively known as the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and sulindac are valuable drugs used for the alleviation of pain, inflammation, and fever, and they are commonly prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid disorders such as arthritis. The world market for NSAIDs now exceeds 6 billion (Vainio and Morgan, 1997). [Pg.530]
