Product Description
Tebufelone (NE-11740) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) and a selective dual COX-2/5-lipoxygenase inhibitor. Tebufelone displays potent anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing, and antipyretic properties.
Tebufelone (NE-11740) (CAS#: 112018-00-5) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) and a selective dual inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). It has a molecular formula of C20H28O2 and a molecular weight of 300.44. Tebufelone displays potent anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing, and antipyretic properties. It belongs to the di-tert-butylphenol (DTBP) structural class. This compound is a research tool used to study the dual inhibition of the COX and LOX pathways in inflammation.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
COX-2 5-LO
The primary targets of Tebufelone are cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). COX-2 is a key enzyme in the production of prostaglandins, which mediate inflammation and pain, while 5-LOX is involved in the synthesis of leukotrienes, another class of inflammatory mediators. By inhibiting both pathways, Tebufelone provides a dual mechanism of action for reducing inflammation.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Tebufelone acts as a selective dual inhibitor of COX-2 and 5-LOX. Its inhibitory activity against these enzymes contributes to its potent anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties. The compound is a research tool used to study the roles of the COX and LOX pathways in inflammation.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Tebufelone displays potent anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing, and antipyretic properties. As an NSAID, it is used in animal models to study its effects on inflammation and pain. Its dual inhibition of COX-2 and 5-LOX distinguishes it from traditional NSAIDs that primarily target COX enzymes.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for Tebufelone involve measuring its inhibition of COX-2 and 5-LOX activities. COX-2 activity is typically measured by the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, while 5-LOX activity is measured by the conversion of arachidonic acid to leukotrienes. The compound's IC50 values for these enzymes are determined from concentration-response curves.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Tebufelone may involve the use of inflammatory cells, such as macrophages or neutrophils, to assess its effects on the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Cells are stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or other inflammatory agents, and the production of these mediators is measured in the presence of the compound.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Tebufelone are typically conducted in rodent models of inflammation and pain. The compound is administered orally or via injection, and its effects on inflammatory markers, pain responses, and body temperature are assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for Tebufelone are not extensively detailed in the available literature. It has a molecular weight of 300.44 and a logP of 4.973. It is a white to off-white solid powder. For research purposes, it is typically stored as a powder at -20°C for up to 3 years or in solution at -80°C for up to 6 months.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
There is no specific toxicity data reported for Tebufelone in the available literature. As a research chemical, it should be handled with standard safety precautions. It is not approved for human therapeutic use.

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)
