Product Description
Fenamic acid (N-Phenylanthranilic acid, NPAA) is an orally bioactive chloride channel blocker. Fenamic acid is the basic component of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIA) and can be derived from mefenamic acid, tofenacin, flufenamic acid and melofenac acid. Fenamic acid also works as an antibacterial and analgesic.

Targets
Chloride Channel[1]
ln Vitro
In endothelial cells, fenamic acid (N-Phenylanthranilic acid, NPAA) (2.5 mM; 3 h) inhibits Cl-transport and prevents 36C1-uptake and efflux[1][2]. Fenamic acid suppresses AKR1B10 with IC50s of 0.76 μM for flufenamic acid, 1.6 μM for mefenamic acid, and 9.89 μM for meclofenamic acid, respectively. Fenamic acid shows selectivity to AKR1B10 (the tumor-marker) over human AR[4]. 50% of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with a MIC50 value between 4 and 16 µg/mL (tolfenamic acid, flufenamic acid, and meclofenamic acid) in a low frequency of resistance are inhibited by fenamic acid (4–16 μg/mL; 72 h)[5]. When applied to infected endocervical cells, fenamic acid (2–8 µg/mL; 8 h) decreases the expression of porinflammatory cytokines (IL–8, IL–6, and IL-ß) without inhibiting the cells' ability to bind commensally to Lactobacillus species (>128 µg/mL; 24 h). being a member of a healthy female vaginal microbiota[5].
ln Vivo
RPA-1 is a biomarker used to identify collecting duct damage in male rats with papillary necrosis[3]. In rats, fenamic acid (N-Phenylanthranilic acid, NPAA) (350–700 mg/kg/day; op; 4 d, 8 d, and 15 d) increases urine renal papillary antigen-1 (RPA-1) and promotes renal papillary necrosis[3]. Mice's abdominal constriction caused by acetic acid is inhibited by fenamic acid (20 g/0.2 mL; ip)[6].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar Hannover rats (8-10 weeks old; weighting 220-270 g)[3]
Doses: 50, 350, or up to 700 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Oral gavage; one time/day; 7 days or 14 days
Experimental Results: Increased absolute paired kidney weights (13.8% at 350 mg/kg and 21.2% at 700/500 mg/kg) and relative to body weight (10.5% at 350 mg/kg/day and 20.3% at 700/500 mg/kg/day). Caused minimal papillary necrosis of tip with necrosis, hemorrhage, and inflammation of collecting ducts.

Animal/Disease Models: Male NMRI mice (weighting 20-25 g); abdominal constriction model (writhing test), induced by acetic acid[6]
Doses: 100 g/mL, each mice injected with 20 mL
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; once
Experimental Results: demonstrated anti-nociceptive activity and inhibited the abdominal constriction with the maximal inhibition of 96.3% (Mefenamic acid).

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 125 mg/mL (586.22 mM)
H2O: < 0.1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 4.17 mg/mL (19.56 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 41.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 + to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*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
