| Bioactivity | Proglumetacin is an orally active and potent cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor. Proglumetacin can inhibits SARS-CoV Mpro (main protease of the SARS-CoV-2), with an AC50 of 8.9 μM (activity concentration at half maximal activity). Proglumetacin has anti-inflammatory activity, can be used for inflammation (such as Rheumatoid arthritis, and Allergic air pouch inflammation) research[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Proglumetacin strongly inhibits 5-HETE formation, with an IC50 of 1.5 μM[2].Proglumetacin inhibits leukocyte migration by inhibiting the production of the chemotactic cyclo-oxygenase product thromboxane B2[2]. |
| In Vivo | Proglumetacin (Sprague-Dawley rats, 0-30 mg/kg, Orally, once) dose-dependently inhibits accumulation of pouch exudate[1]. Animal Model: |
