Description

General description

A cell-permeable, active metabolite of Sulindac (Cat. No. 574100). Strongly inhibits Ras-induced malignant transformation and Ras/Raf-dependent transactivation. Also decreases the Ras-induced activation of c-Raf-1 kinase. Inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines. Selectively inhibits COX-1 (ID₅₀ = 500 nM) compared to prostaglandin H synthase-2 (PGHS-2; COX-2; ID₅₀ = 14 µM). Preferentially inhibits the secretion of Aβ₄₂ in CHO cells stably transfected with both APP₇₅, and the PS1 mutant M146L.

An active metabolite of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Sulindac (Cat. No. 574100). Inhibits Ras signaling. Strongly inhibits Ras-induced malignant transformation and Ras/Raf-dependent transactivation. Also decreases the Ras-induced activation of c-Raf-1 kinase. Inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Selectively inhibits prostaglandin H synthase-1 (PGHS-1; COX-1; ID₅₀ = 0.5 µM) relative to prostaglandin H synthase-2 (PGHS-2; COX-2; ID₅₀ = 14 µM). Reduces Aβ₄₂ production independently of COX inhibition.
