Molecular Identity
Acemetacin
2-[2-[1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methylindol-3-yl]acetyl]oxyacetic acid
PubChem CID: 1981
Acemetacin is a carboxylic ester that is the carboxymethyl ester of indometacin. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and low back pain, as well as for postoperative pain and inflammation. Its activity is due to both acemetacin and its major metabolite, indometacin. It has a role as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a non-narcotic analgesic, an EC 1.14.99.1 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase) inhibitor and a prodrug. It is an indol-3-yl carboxylic acid, a monocarboxylic acid, a carboxylic ester, a N-acylindole and a member of monochlorobenzenes. It is functionally related to an indometacin.
