Many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are potent but non-selective inhibitors of both COX-1 and COX-2 in humans.{1286} Sulindac is one of the older NSAIDs, an isostere of indomethacin developed before the inducible form of COX-2 was discovered.{722} Although a number of NSAIDs have been found to protect against digestive tract cancers, sulindac has an extensive epidemiology documenting reduced human colorectal cancer. In murine models, sulindac was found not only to inhibit the enzymatic activity of polyp-associated COX-2, but also to downregulate the expression of colonic COX-2 protein to control levels.{4068}
