Indomethacin
CAS#: 53-86-1
Indomethacin, with the molecular formula C19H16ClNO4, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. It works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thus reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins, which mediate inflammation and pain. Frequently prescribed for conditions like gout, arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
