Canadian Medical Guide Definition Indans - Aryl CYCLOPENTANES that are a reduced (protonated) form of INDENES.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Sulindac - A sulfinylindene derivative prodrug whose sulfinyl moiety is converted in vivo to an active NSAID analgesic. Specifically, the prodrug is converted by liver enzymes to a sulfide which is excreted in the bile and then reabsorbed from the intestine. This helps to maintain constant blood levels with reduced gastrointestinal side effects.
