Özet

Background and Aims: Since 1980's, several preclinical studies have been published on the anti-colorectal cancer activity of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin. The direct anti-proliferative effect of indomethacin seems to occur via a variety of reported COX-independent mechanisms. Acemetacin is a glycolic acid ester derivative of indomethacin and contrary to indomethacin, there is not much published research on anti-cancer effects of acemetacin. Herein, we compared the in vitro anti-proliferative properties of indomethacin, acemetacin, and their tromethamine salts in HCT116 colon cancer cells.
