Application

Indomethacin has been used:
  • as a medium supplement in osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation assays in human bone marrow stem cells[1]
  • as a medium supplement in bovine amniotic fluid stem cells (BAFSCs) culture[2]
  • in the inhibition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in T cells[3]

General description

Indomethacin is an inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase 1 and 2. Indomethacin elicits side effects in gastrointestinal tract, kidney and cerebrum. Indomethacin, along with ibuprofen, is effective for treating patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in infants with respiratory distress syndrome.[4] Rectal indomethacin is effective in treating endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) induced pancreatitis.[5]
