Product Description

SB-242235 has the potential to treat cytokine-mediated illnesses like autoimmune or inflammatory diseases because it is a potent and selective p38 MAP kinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.0 uM. Positive pharmacokinetic results were seen with SB-242235. However, SB-242235 showed low to moderate clearance with plasma half-lives > 4 hours in non-rodent species. Systemic plasma clearance was high in rats. The oral bioavailability was high in all preclinical species. With increasing dose, SB-242235's clearance decreased in rats and monkeys, and at high oral doses, its apparent oral bioavailability appeared to be > 100%. These non-linear elimination kinetics were also evident in the drug's apparent oral bioavailability.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
p38 MAPK (IC50 = 1.0 μM)
ln Vitro
SB 242235 (0-10 μM) inhibits MAPKAP K2 activation in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 1.0 μM in human chondrocytes stimulated with IL-1β[1]. SB 242235 inhibits intracellular p38 activity, MAPKAP K2 was then isolated from these cells and assessed using HSP27 as a substrate[1].
ln Vivo
SB242235 (100 mg/kg; p.o.) abolishes MAP-KAPK-2 activity and HSP27 phosphorylation[2].
SB242235 inhibits expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and KC (murine IL-8) and COX-2[2].
In rats and monkeys, SB-242235 has been shown to have non-linear elimination kinetics, which showed up as a decrease in clearance with dose and an apparent oral bioavailability > 100% at high oral doses[3].
Enzyme Assay
SB 242235 inhibited intracellular p38 activity, human chondrocytes were treated with different doses of SB 242235 prior to stimulation with IL-1_ for 15 min. From these cells, MAPKAP K2 was then isolated and measured using HSP27 as a substrate. With an IC50 of 1.0 uM, SB 242235 inhibited the activation of MAPKAP K2 in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal Protocol
Female SKH-1 hairless mice (4–6 weeks)[2]
100 mg/kg
Oral administered, 30 minutes prior to ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.07 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 25.0 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.

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.

*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
