Product Description

Nabumetone (formerly BRL-14777; BRL14777; Relafen, Relifex, Gambaran, Arthraxan), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is a selective COX-2 inhibitor and a prodrug with potential anti-inflammatory activity. It has an active metabolite that also inhibits COX. As a prodrug, nabumetone itself is non-acidic and undergoes first-pass metabolism extensively following absorption, to form the main circulating active metabolite (6-MNA) which is a much more potent COX-2 inhibitor.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Nabumetone is a highly powerful and selective COX-2 inhibitor. Nabumetone (50 μmol-2 mmol) decreases proliferation of K-562 and Meg-01 cells in a dose-dependent manner, but has no apparent apoptotic impact. Nabumetone enhances the apoptotic impact of ADR in the K-562 cell line. Furthermore, Nabumetone lowers Bcl-2 expression[1].
ln Vivo
In rats, napumetone (79 mg/kg, po) reduces PGE2 exudate from the paws and paw oedema. In rats, napumetone only inhibits the generation of 6-keto-PGF1α from the gastric mucosa by 57% and does not cause any harm to the stomach[2]. In rats, napumetine (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, i.p.) enhances mucus secretion generated by stress and dose-dependently prevents the rise in DDC-induced mucus secretion. Rats' stress-induced ulcer index is dramatically suppressed by napumetone (25 mg/kg, ip)[3].

*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

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:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
