Indomethacin Isopropyl Ester

Indomethacin Isopropyl Ester, also known as indomethacin isobutyl ester, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to reduce pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, gout, and bursitis. It is a derivative of indomethacin, which is a commonly used NSAID. Indomethacin Isopropyl Ester works by blocking the action of the cyclooxygenase enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. This drug prevents the formation of prostaglandins and thereby reduces the symptoms of inflammation and pain associated with various medical conditions. The chemical formula of Indomethacin Isopropyl Ester is C22H23NO4, and it has a molecular weight of 369.42 g/mol. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It has a melting point of 162-164 °C and a boiling point of 519.2 °C. Indomethacin Isopropyl Ester is typically administered orally in the form of capsules or tablets. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the condition being treated and the patient's response to the medication. Like other NSAIDs, it may cause side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness. It may also increase the risk of bleeding, especially in individuals with a history of bleeding disorders or who are taking blood-thinning medications. Therefore, it is important to use this medication only as directed by a healthcare professional.
