General description

5-Methoxy-2-methyl-3-indoleacetic acid is hydrolysis product of indomethacin.

Application

5-Methoxy-2-methyl-3-indoleacetic acid was used for quantitative determination of indomethacin and its major impurities in suppository and capsule formulations by HPLC. 5-Methoxy-2-methyl-3-indoleacetic acid was used in a study to develop fast, sensitive and simultaneous determination of metabolites of serotonin using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection.

Previous studies suggested that one of the hydrolysis products of indomethacin, either 4-chlorobenzoic acid or 5-methoxy-2-methyl-3-indole acetic acid, can inhibit platelet aggregation in vivo. If correct, this hypothesis explains the apparent action of indomethacin dissolved at high pH where hydrolysis

Indomethacin is metabolized in humans by O-demethylation, and by acyl glucuronidation to the 1-O-glucuronide. Indomethacin, its metabolite O-desmethylindomethacin (DMI) and their conjugates can be measured directly by gradient high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis without enzymic deglucuronidation. The glucuronide conjugates were isolated

Indomethacin and its impurities in suppository and capsule formulations were quantitatively determined by HPLC using a reversed-phase, octadecyl column and a mobile phase of methanol-water-acetonitrile-acetic acid (55:35:10:1). Analysis of the suppository formulations provided a mean potency for indomethacin of 103.8%.
