Product Description

NS-398 [also called NS 398, N-(2-cyclohexyloxy-4-nitrophenyl)methane sulfonamide] is a novel, highly potent and selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) that is used as a non-steroidal an-inflammatory agent with analgesic and antipyretic effects. The IC50 values for human recombinant COX-1 and -2 are 75 and 1.77 μM, respectively, which means the COX-1 activity is completely unaffected by 75 μM NS-398, whereas the COX-2 activity was concentration-dependently inhibited with the IC50 value being 1.77 μM. NS-398 inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in human osteosarcoma cells via downregulation of the survivin pathway. NS-398-enhanced apoptosis of esophageal carcinoma cell EC9706 by adjusting expression of survivin and caspase-3.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
With an IC50 of 3.8 μM and no effect on COX-1 at 100 μM, NS-398 is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that specifically inhibits prostaglandin G/H synthase/cyclooxygenase (COX-2) activity. [1]. In sheep seminal vesicle microsomes, NS-398 weakly inhibits PG endoperoxide synthase activity (IC50: 11 μM)[2].
ln Vivo
Rats with an ED30 of 1.14 mg/kg showed dose-dependent inhibition of paw edema when treated with NS-398 (0.5-10 mg/kg, po), and this treatment was effective in managing adjuvant arthritis (ED30, 4.69 mg/kg). In rats, it has an antipyretic effect (ED50, 1.84 mg/kg) and a dose-dependent analgesic effect (ED50, 1.65 mg/kg). With an ED50 of 8.2 mg/kg, NS-398 suppresses the writhing response brought on by acetic acid in mice[2].
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in saline; 20 mg/kg; i.p.
CD1 mice

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO:62 mg/mL (197.2 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:<1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (7.95 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
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 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (5.31 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 16.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL 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.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (5.31 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 16.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

*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.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • 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
