The cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme appears to be an important target for cancer chemoprevention.
Encapsulation of the parent compound (sulindac sulfoxide) can be readily accomplished, but the effects of alternate formulations on bioavailability have not been rigorously examined.

Consequently, the inhibition of GSK-3beta decreased the nuclear factor-kappaB activity, the NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression, and COX2 expression, but enhanced p21 (WAF1/Cip1) transcription.
