How Exisulind works

Exisulind is a sulindac derivative of a class of compounds called selective apoptotic anti-neoplastic drugs (SAANDs), which inhibit the enzyme cyclic guanosine monophosphodiesterase (cGMP - PDE). Exisulind is specific for apoptotic effects in precancerous and cancerous colorectal cells due to their overexpression of cGMP. Sustained elevation of cGMP and protein kinase G (PKG) activation may be also implicated in the induction of apoptosis by Exisulind.
