Product Description

Ketorolac (Toradol, Acular, RS 37619; RS37619; Sprix, Macril, Acuvail, Lixidol), an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), is a potent and non-selective COX inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2 with potential anti-inflammatory activity. It inhibits COX-1/2 with IC50s of 1.23 μM and 3.50 μM, respectively. The (S) enantiomer of Ketorolac with IC50 of 0.10 μM for rat COX-1 is approximately twice as potent as the racemate, whereas the (R)-enantiomer with IC50 of > 100 μM is virtually without activity. Ketorolac shows inhibition of eicosanoid formation in HEL cells (COX-1) and LPS-stimulated Mono Mac 6 cells (COX-2) with IC50 of 0.025 μM and 0.039 μM, respectively.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The oral cancer cells can be successfully killed by ketorolac (RS37619) salt (0-30 μM; 48 h)[4]. In H357 cells, ketorolac salt (0–5 μM; 48 h) causes apoptosis and suppresses the production of the DDX3 protein[4]. Oral cancer cell growth is inhibited by ketorolac salt (0-2.5 μM; 0-16 h)[4]. By directly interacting with DDX3, ketorolac salt (0–50 μM) suppresses ATPase activity[4].
ln Vivo
In rabbits, ketorolac (RS37619), or 0.4% ketorolac tromethamine ophthalmic solution, exhibits potent anti-inflammatory effects on the eyes[1]. Rats' alveolar socket volume fraction of bone trabeculae is unaffected negatively by ketorolac (4 mg/kg/day, po; 2 weeks)[2]. In rats, intrathecal injection of ketorolac (60 μg) attenuates the damage induced by spinal cord ischemia[3]. Mice exposed to ketorolac salt (20 and 30 mg/kg; ip; twice weekly for three weeks) have less oral carcinogenesis[4].

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
