Uses
COX-2-IN-5 (compound 11a) is a potent COX-2 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.65 μM. COX-2-IN-5 has the potential for the research of inflammation[1].
Definition
ChEBI: LM-1685 is an indolyl carboxylate ester that is methyl 1H-indole-2-carboxylate substituted by a 4-chlorobenzyl group at position 1 and a methylsulfonyl group at position 5. It acts as a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase 2. It has a role as a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor. It is an indolyl carboxylate ester, a sulfone, a member of monochlorobenzenes and a methyl ester.
