Tolmetin Sodium is an anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic agent. It can inhibit aldo-keto reductases (e.g., IC50 = 2.39 μM for human aldose reductase), a family of enzymes that catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of carbonyl groups in a number of important steroid, metabolic, and prostanoid molecules. It is a beta-adrenergic blocker.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
