Product Description
Loxoprofen sodium is an orally bioactive nonsteroidal anti~inflammatory drug with antipyretic properties that has been studied for pain relief. Loxoprofen sodium is a non-selective COX inhibitor (antagonist) with IC50s of 6.5 and 13.5 μM for COX-1 and COX-2 respectively. Loxoprofen sodium reduces atherosclerosis and has anti-tumor effects.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Loxoprofen sodium is a non-selective COX inhibitor and an anti-inflammatory prodrug (NSAID). The IC50 values for COX-1 and COX-2 in the human whole blood assay are 6.5 and 13.5μM, respectively. [1]. A common non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor used to investigate pain and inflammation in both chronic and acute illnesses is loxoprofen (LOX) sodium. Carbonyl reductase (CR) creates its alcohol metabolite, which is made up of both active trans-LOX and inactive cis-LOX. Furthermore, cytochrome P450 (CYP) has the ability to transform LOX sodium into inactive hydroxylated metabolites (OH-LOXs) [2].
ln Vivo
Loxoprofen sodium (4 mg/kg/day; PO; 1 or 8 weeks) lowers atherosclerosis in rats via decreasing inflammation [3]. Loxoprofen sodium (60 μg/mL; oral; 24 days) reduces tumor growth in mice via blocking VEGF [4].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: ApoE-/- mice (C57BL/6J-Apoetm1Unc), 8 to 16 weeks old, high-fat diet (0.2% cholesterol, 21% saturated fat) [3]
Doses: 4 mg/kg/day, given in drinking water Medication method: Oral administration at 8 to 16 weeks of age or 15 to 16 weeks of age.
Experimental Results: Inhibition of platelet thromboxane production and platelet aggregation. Reduce the extent of atherosclerosis. Inhibits the production of PGE2, TxB2 and PGI2.

Animal/Disease Models: 6weeks old male C57BL/6 and BDF1 mice, 100 μL suspension of LLC cells and KLN205 cells (2×106 cells/mL) were subcutaneously (sc) (sc) injected into C57BL/6 and BDF1 mice respectively [4].
Doses: 60 μg/mL
Route of Administration: Orally administered daily for 24 days
Experimental Results: Inhibited tumor growth and angiogenesis in LLC tumor mice, inhibited VEGF expression, and inhibited HUVEC tube formation.

Additional Infomation
Loxoprofen sodium is an organic sodium salt having loxoprofen(1-) as the counterion. The parent acid, loxoprofen, is a prodrug that is rapidly converted to its active trans-alcohol metabolite following oral administration. It has a role as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a non-narcotic analgesic, an EC 1.14.99.1 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase) inhibitor and an antipyretic. It contains a loxoprofen(1-).

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
