Diclofenac (diethylamine)

Diclofenac diethylamine is a potent and nonselective anti-inflammatory agent, acts as a COX inhibitor, with IC50s of 4 and 1.3 nM for human COX-1 and COX-2 in CHO cells[1], and 5.1 and 0.84 μM for ovine COX-1 and COX-2, respectively[2]. Diclofenac diethylamine induces apoptosis of neural stem cells (NSCs) via the activation of the caspase cascade[3].
