Product Description
Ketorolac (RS37619) hemicalcium is a non-steroidal anti~inflammatory agent and a non-selective COX inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50s of 20 nM and 120 nM for COX-1 and COX-2 respectively. Ketorolac tromethamine is used as 0.5% eye drops in studies of allergic conjunctivitis, cystic macular edema, intraoperative miosis, and postoperative ophthalmitis pain. Ketorolac hemicalium is also a DDX3 inhibitor and may be utilized in cancer-related research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In 48 hours, ketorolac (RS37619) salt (0–30 μM) efficiently destroys oral cancer cells [4]. In H357 cells, ketorolat (0–5 μM; 48 h) causes apoptosis and suppresses the production of the DDX3 protein [4]. The growth of oral cancer cells is inhibited by ketorolat (0-2.5 μM; 0-16 hours) [4]. Ketorolat (0-50 μM) decreases ATPase activity by directly interacting with DDX3 [4].
ln Vivo
Rabbits treated with ketorolac (RS37619) (0.4% Ketorolac Tromethamine Eye Drops) demonstrated strong ocular anti-inflammatory effects [1]. There are no negative effects of ketorolac (4 mg/kg/day orally; 2 weeks) on the volume fraction of trabecular bone formed in the rats' alveolar sockets [2]. In rats, intrathecal injection of ketorolac (60 μg) once reduces damage from spinal cord ischemia [3]. Oral cancer incidence in mice is decreased by ketorolat (20 and 30 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice weekly for 3 weeks) [4].

*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)
