Product Description

Nimesulide (formerly R-805; R 805; R805), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is a potent and selective COX-2 inhibitor with analgesic and antipyretic properties. It inhibits COX-2 with an IC50 of 26 μM. Nimesulide has been approved for the treatment of acute pain, the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis and primary dysmenorrhoea in adolescents and adults above 12 years old. It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins (a chemical associated with pain) thereby relieving pain and inflammation.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Nimesulide exhibits a limited effect on COX-1 (IC50 >100 μM), but it is a selective inhibitor of COX-2 with IC50s ranging from 70 nM to 70 μM in a time-dependent manner[1]. In endometrial cancer cells, imimezolide (10 μM) significantly reduces VEGF, while having no effect on normal cells. Nimesulide (10 and 50 µM) significantly lowers MCP-1 levels in normal cells; 10 µM has the same effect on cancer cells. Moreover, mesulide (50 µM) has little effect on cancer cells but has a strong effect on the amount of IL-8 in normal cells[3].
ln Vivo
In rats, imesulide (3 and 10 mg/kg, ip) significantly prevents fever brought on by an intraperitoneal injection of LPS. Nimesulide (3 mg/kg, ip) potently suppresses the fever response brought on by TNF-α, IL-1β, or IL-6, but it has no effect on the arachidonic acid-induced initial spike in the fever response. Additionally, mesulide dramatically lowers PGE2 and PGF2α levels in the brain fluid of rats treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 97% suppresses the rise in plasma TNF-α[2].
Animal Protocol
1, 3 or 10 mg/kg; i.p.
Rats: In the initial experiments, rats are pre-treated with intraperitoneal injections of 1, 3 or 10 mg/kg doses of Nimesulide, diluted in a 5% cremophor vehicle, or 2 mg/kg of indomethacin diluted in tris(hydroximetyl)-aminomethane-HCl (TRIS), pH 8.2, 30 min prior to an i.p. injection of LPS (50 μg/kg). Control animals receive the appropriate vehicle plus saline (1 mL/200 g, i.p.). The dose of 3 mg/kg of Nimesulide is chosen for the remaining experiments. In another set of experiments, rats are pretreated with an i.p. injection of Nimesulide (3 mg/kg) or indomethacin (2 mg/kg), diluted in the appropriate vehicles, 30 min prior to an i.c.v. injection (2 μL over 1 min) of IL-1β (3.12 ng), IL-6 (300 ng), TNF-α (250 ng), arachidonic acid (50 μg), MIP-1α (500 ng), PGE2 (250 ng), PGF2α (250 ng), CRF (2 μg) or ET-1 (1 pmol). Control animals receive the appropriate vehicles (1 mL/200 g, i.p.) and sterile saline (2 μL over 1 min, i.c.v.). All the drugs are injected between 10:00 and 11:00 AM to avoid circadian rhythm variations

*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
