Product Description

Ibuprofen (Dolgesic; Advil, Motrin, Nurofen, Brufen among others), a potent anti-inflammatory drug of the NSAID class, is an inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes with IC50s of 13 μM and 370 μM, respectively. Ibuprofen is an isobutylphenylpropanoic acid-based, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for treating pain, fever, and inflammation. This includes painful menstrual periods, migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis. In HCT-116 p53wt or HCT-116 p53-/-colon carcinoma cell lines, S- and R-ibuprofen induced apoptosis and blocked cell cycle is in part dependent on p53. The anti-proliferative effects were significantly higher in the p53wt cell line than in the p53-deficient cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
COX-1 and COX-2 activity is inhibited by ibuprofen (24 h) with IC50 values of 13 μM and 370 μM[1]. In AGS cells (adenocarcinoma gastric cell line), ibuprofen (500 μM, 48 h) causes apoptosis and suppresses angiogenesis and cell proliferation[2]. In AGS cells, ibuprofen (500 μM, 48 h) increases the RNA levels of wild type P53 and Bax genes but downregulates the transcription of Akt, VEGF-A, PCNA, Bcl2, OCT3/4, and CD44 genes[2]. In both primary CF nasal epithelial cells and cystic fibrosis (CF) cell models, ibuprofen (500 μM, 24 h) causes extension of microtubules to the cell periphery and restores microtubule-dependent intracellular cholesterol transport[3]. Through a photosensitization process, ibuprofen (500 μM, 24 h) increases UV-induced cell death in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells[4].
ln Vivo
In a model of postpartum breast cancer, ibuprofen (300 mg/kg; po; daily, for 14 days) decreases overall tumor growth and improves anti-tumor immune features without causing harmful autoimmune reactions[5]. ?In rats with a chronic Oxaliplatin model, is there a reduction in the risk of neuropathy with Ibuprofen (60 mg/kg; ih; every other day for 15 days)?caused neuropathy in the periphery[6]. ?The average muscle fiber cross-sectional area is decreased by ibuprofen (20 mg/kg; po; every 12 hours, 5 doses total) without changing the regulation of supraspinatus tendon adaptations to exercise[7]. ?In a rat model of persistent lung infection, ibuprofen (35 mg/kg; po; twice daily) reduces the inflammatory response to pseudomonas aeruginosa[8].

*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

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
