Product Description

Meloxicam (Parocin; Movicox; Meloxicamum; Mobic; Mobicox; reumoxicam; Movalis; Uticox), an approved medication used to treat pain and inflammation in rheumatic arthritis and osteoarthritis, is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which acts as a selective COX inhibitor with IC50s of 0.49 µM and 36.6 µM for COX-2 and COX-1, respectively. I is used to relieve pain and fever effects. Studies suggest that Meloxicam is Cox-2 preferential, therefore it will probably not display a lower gastrointestinal toxicity than non-selective anti-inflammatory agents. This compound has been shown to also inhibit prostanoid synthesis in inflammatory cells. It shows potent anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic effects with low gastrointestinal toxicity in animal models.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Compound 5, meloxicam, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that suppresses COX activity. Its IC50 values for COX-2 and COX-1 are 0.49 µM and 36.6 µM, respectively[1]. At 0.25–25 µg/mL, meloxicam does not exhibit any cytotoxicity on MDCK or CF41.Mg tumor cells, but it suppresses COX+ tumor cells. Additionally, doxorubicin and meloxicam do not work synergistically on CF41.Mg cells. Meloxicam (0.25 µg/mL) inhibits the migration and invasion of CF41.Mg cells, reduces the production of MMP-2, and increases β-catenin phophorylation in CF41.Mg cells; however, it has no effect on apoptosis in CF41.Mg cells[2].
ln Vivo
In mice, paw liking time is considerably reduced by meloxicam (10 mg/kg) alone or in combination with rutin on the first day by 55% and 49%, respectively, compared to the formalin-treated group; however, the combination does not significantly reduce time on the third day. Additionally, meloxicam alone or in combination with rutin reduces MDA contents, activates liver SOD activities, lowers relative liver weights, inhibits IL-1β content, and considerably lowers the number of positive caspase-3 immunoreactive cells in mice[3].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 30 mg/mL (85.4 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:<1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.11 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1 mg/mL (2.85 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 2.8458 mL 14.2288 mL 28.4576 mL
5 mM 0.5692 mL 2.8458 mL 5.6915 mL
10 mM 0.2846 mL 1.4229 mL 2.8458 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
