Diclofenac sodium salt
Diclofenac sodium salt (CAS: 15307-79-6) is a sodium salt of diclofenac, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This compound is primarily recognised for its role in inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are crucial in the synthesis of prostaglandins, key mediators of inflammation and pain. It is widely used as an approved therapeutic agent in human medicine and serves as a valuable biochemical reagent in research settings for studying inflammatory pathways and enzyme inhibition.
