Use | Used as anti-inflammatory analgesics, for rheumatic, rheumatoid arthritis, acute gout |
In vitro study | In two colon cancer and other cell lines, Sulindac and its metabolites sulindacsulfide and sulindacsulfone also inhibit the NF-κB pathway due to Sulindac-mediated reduction of IKK beta kinase activity. Sulindac sulfide significantly reduced the number of cells by about 4-fold in both overgrown and undergrown HT-29 cells. Sulindac sulfid inhibits the growth of a variety of tumor cell lines derived from other tissues, as well as normal epithelial cells and fibroblasts. In CRC cell lines DLD1 and SW480, Sulindac sulfide inhibits beta-catenin/TCF-mediated gene transcription and reduces the level of non-phosphorylated beta-catenin. |
In vivo study | In the murine model of familial adenomatous polyposis, Sulindac not only inhibits tumor formation, but also reduces small intestinal COX-2 and prostaglandin E(2) to baseline levels, restoring normal levels of apoptosis. In Min/mouse intestinal tissue, Sulindac not only reduced the number of tumors by 95%, but did not change the levels of PGE 2 and LTB 4. In Min/mouse intestinal tissue, Sulindac reduced tumor numbers by 82%, while arachidic acid levels remained elevated. In Min/mouse intestinal tissue, Sulindac caused 70-80% regression within 4 days, but did not have the same effect on colon lesions. |

overview | sulindac (Sulindac) is an effective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of colon polyposis. From a structural point of view, sulindac is a sulfoxide drug. It has no efficacy for rheumatic and rheumatoid arthritis, but it can be converted by liver enzymes into sulfides that inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, and it can also be metabolized in the body. It is converted into sulfone compounds that can treat colon polyps and inhibit early cancer deterioration. Sulindac is a very small active precursor drug, which is metabolized into active sulfide after entering the human body. It can inhibit cyclooxygenase and reduce the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby having analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. |
biological activity | Sulindac is a non-steroidal COX inhibitor, which effectively inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and is used to treat acute or chronic inflammation. |
Target | Value |
use | approved by FDA in 1978. As a prodrug, it does not have anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, but has an effect on oral absorption and conversion into metabolic sulfide. Used for rheumatoid arthritis, arm and knee arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, bursitis, acute gout, etc. used as anti-inflammatory analgesic, used for rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, acute gout, etc. |
Production method | Method 1: 4-nitrophthalic acid is hydrogenated and reduced to 4-aminophthalic acid, and the Sehiernann reaction produces 4-fluoro-phthalic acid, which is esterified to diethyl 4-fluoro-phthalate, and ethyl propionate is condensed and cyclized under the action of sodium to form dihydroindene, which reacts with organic phosphine compound and introduces methyl acetate at the 3 position, then it performs a Grigne reaction with p-methylsulfinyl benzyl bromide, and finally hydrolyzes desulinic acid. Method 2: 5-fluoro-2-methyl-3-oxo-2, 3-dihydro-1H-indene was used as raw material, first condensed with 2-cyanoacetic acid, and then acetic acid was introduced at the 3 position. Then it is condensed with p-methylthio benzaldehyde, and finally oxidized to desulinac acid. Method 3: Similar to Method 2, only the sequence of side chain introduction is different. Method 4: 5-fluoro-2-methyl-1-oxo-2, 3-dihydro-Lh-indene and p-methylthiobenzyl chloride were subjected to a Grignite reaction, introducing p-methylthiobenzyl at the 1 position, then dehydrating in acid, forming a double bond at the 1 and 2 positions, then reacting with glyoxylic acid, introducing acetic acid at the 3 position, oxidizing with hydrogen peroxide, and finally acidification to shift the double bond to obtain sulindic acid. |
