Abstract: | Abstract: Non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of pharmacological agents that are tradicionally used for their anti-cyclooxigenase properties in the treatment of inflammation and other associated diseases. Recently, however, it has been demonstrated that several NSAIDs exhibit antiproliferative effects in various animal models and in vitro experiments. In this paper we demonstrated that treatment of Aedes albopictus cells (mosquito) with indomethacin results in a reduction of normal growth rate. Cells treated with 100 μM indomethacin exhibited a profound time dependent reduction in their proliferation rate over the 96 h test period. |
