Descriptor sulindac
Scope note: Profármaco derivado del sulfinilindeno cuyo residuo sulfinil se convierte in vivo en un AINE activo. Específicamente el profármaco es convertido por las enzimas hepáticas a disulfuro, que es excretado a la bilis y luego rebsorbido en el intestino. Con ello se mantienen concenraciones sanguíneas constantes sin causar efectos gastrointestinales colaterales.

Scope note: A sulfinylindene derivative prodrug whose sulfinyl moiety is converted in vivo to an active NSAID analgesic. Specifically, the prodrug is converted by liver enzymes to a sulfide which is excreted in the bile and then reabsorbed from the intestine. This helps to maintain constant blood levels with reduced gastrointestinal side effects.
