Product Description

Ibudilast (formerly known as KC-404, AV-411 or MN-166) is a potent and nonspecific/nonselective inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase (PDE). It has been marketed in Japan for treating asthma. Ibudilast has antiinflammatory activity possibly due to the potent inhibition of PDE4. Ibudilast can be used as a bronchodilator, a vasodilator and/or a neuroprotective agent. It may also be useful in the treatment of multiple sclerosis because of its ability to inhibit platelet aggregation.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Ibudilast (1~100 μM; 24 hours; microglia) significantly reduces TNF-α production at 10 and 100 μM and suppresses the production of IL-1β and IL-6 at 100 μM [1]. Neuronal cells treated with Ibudilast (1~100 μM; 48 hours) have a significantly higher rate of neuronal survival. Microglia treated with Ibudilast (1~100 μM; 48 hours) produce less superoxide and NO [1]. Ibudilast increases the synthesis of IL-10 in a dose-dependent way. Ibudilast raises GDNF and NT-4 mRNA expression in addition to NGF mRNA and protein levels. Ibudilast dose-dependently lessens the apoptotic alterations seen in neuronal cells [1].
ln Vivo
Ibudilast is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and has a good tolerance. It inhibits platelet aggregation, improves cerebral blood flow and attenuates allergic reactions in clinical applications. In an animal model of encephalomyelitis, Ibudilast significantly attenuates inflammatory cell infiltration in the lumbar spinal cord. After oral administration, it is well absorbed and metabolized in the liver mainly to diOH-ibudilast, which has similar or even stronger pharmacological effects

*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
