HIDE SMILES / InChI
Indobufen inhibits platelet aggregation by reversibly inhibiting the platelet cyclooxygenase enzyme thereby suppressing thromboxane synthesis. Indobufen under brand name ibustrin is used in Italy for the following conditions: cerebrovascular insufficiency, atherosclerosis of peripheral and cerebral vessels, thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, and diabetes mellitus. In addition, this drug has been investigated in the phase II clinical trial for the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation. After oral administration, it is quickly and completely absorbed.

Sample Use Guides

indobufen capsules 100 and 200 mg
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
At low concentrations (10 microM), indobufen completely inhibited secondary platelet aggregation, the release reaction and TxB2 production stimulated by ADP, epinephrine and low concentrations of platelet-activating factor (PAF acether). Higher concentrations of indobufen (100 microM) completely inhibited TxB2 production, platelet aggregation and ATP release induced by arachidonic acid (1 mM) or collagen (2 micrograms/ml). The inhibitory effect was partially overcome by higher concentrations of arachidonic acid (2 mM).
