O-Desmethyl-N-deschlorobenzoyl indomethacin is a metabolite of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and COX inhibitor indomethacin .1It is formed from indomethacin in isolated rabbit hepatocytes. O-Desmethyl-N-deschlorobenzoyl indomethacin (600 μM) decreases the viability of HL-60 leukemia cells when cultured with glucose oxidase.2It has also been used in the synthesis of prostaglandin D2receptor antagonists.3 1.Evans, M.A., Papazafiratou, C., Bhat, R., et al.Indomethacin metabolism in isolated neonatal and fetal rabbit hepatocytesPediatr.
