Product Description

Apremilast (also known as CC-10004), a thalidomide analog, is a novel and orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) with potential anti-inflammatory activity. It regulates inflammation through multiple cAMP downstream effectors. Apremilast inhibits PDE4 with an IC50 of 74 nM using 1 μM cAMP as substrate. Apremilast inhibits spontaneous production of TNF-alpha from human rheumatoid synovial cells. Apremilast was approved by the FDA in 2014 for treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis. It is also being tested for its efficacy in treating other chronic inflammatory diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, Behcet's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Apremilast (CC-10004) has an IC50 of 104 nM (pIC50=6.98±0.2) that inhibits TNF-α release by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This is similar to the potency of Apremilast for PDE4 enzymatic inhibition (IC50=74 nM) and nearly exactly replicates the TNF-α inhibition that Apremilast has previously been shown to inhibit on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (IC50=110 nM). With increased intracellular cAMP levels, apremilast suppresses TNF-α, and these results convincingly support this theory. Apremilast-induced IL-10 activation and TNF-α suppression were not observed in the presence of PKA, Epac1, or Epac2 knockdowns].
ln Vivo
When taken orally at a dose of 5 mg/kg, apremilast (CC-10004) dramatically reduces the amount of TNF-α produced in the air pouch by 39% (61±6% of the vehicle, P <0.001) and decreases the number of leukocytes by 28% (72±12% of the vehicle, P <0.05). Immunohistologic investigation confirms that Apremilast significantly reduces neutrophil accumulation in the air pouch membrane. Both methotrexate (MTX) and apremilast considerably decrease leukocyte infiltration in the murine air pouch model, however only apremilast significantly inhibits TNF-α release. There is no greater suppression of leukocyte infiltration or TNF-α release when MTX (1 mg/kg) is added to Apremilast (5 mg/kg) than when Apremilast is used alone[1]. It has been demonstrated that the new oral PDE4 inhibitor apremilast controls inflammatory mediators. The mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) following oral administration of Apremilast is determined to be 67.00±14.87 ng/mL. Apremilast's plasma concentration drops quickly, and it eventually disappears from plasma with a terminal half-life of 0.92±0.46 h[2].

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.43 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.

*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.

  • 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)
