Product Description
Salicylic acid (2-Hydroxybenzoic acid) inhibits COX-2 activity, and the inhibitory activity is independent of activation of transcription factor (NF-κB).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
At far lower concentrations than those necessary to prevent NF-κB activation (20 mg/mL), salicylic acid has strong COX-2 activating properties. After a 24-hour period, interleukin E2 can be stimulated by salicylic acid and leukocyte hormone 1β, with an IC50 value of 5 μg/mL. NF-κB activation, COX-2 modulation, or translation are unrelated to this effect. By contrast, when exogenous arachidonic acid is raised to 30 μM, salicylic acid becomes a relatively poor COX-2 inhibitor. Activity inhibition: >100 μg/mL for the IC50. Salicylic acid inhibited PGE2 release in a concentration-dependent manner when combined with IL-1β for a full day; an IC50 value of roughly 5 μg/mL was observed. We evaluated salicylic acid's capacity to directly suppress COX-2 activity in A549 cells by exposing the cells for 30 minutes and then adding varying doses of exogenous arachidonic acid (1, 10, and 30 μM). either in the presence of 1 or 10 μM exogenous substrate, or in the absence of additional arachidonic acid. Here, COX-2 activity was inhibited by salicylic acid in a concentration-dependent manner; an IC50 value of roughly 5 μg/mL was reported. Salicylic acid, on the other hand, was an inefficient COX-2 reactive dye when the same experiment was run with 30 μM arachidonic acid; apparent IC50 values exceeded 100 μg/mL, and maximum inhibition was less than 50% [1].
ln Vivo
Salicylic acid tended to lower postprandial and fasting blood glucose levels in C57Bl/6 DIO samples. Additionally, there was a trend toward decreased blood glucose levels following salicylic acid treatment in C57Bl/6 DIO samples (P=0.059). In the omental adipose tissue of C57Bl/6 DIO mice, salicylic acid significantly decreased 11β-HSD1 mRNA, and there was a similar tendency in the mesenteric fat (P=0.057). Salicylic treatment also decreased the activity of the 11β-HSD1 enzyme in the omental fat of C57Bl/6 DIO mice [2].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ≥ 50 mg/mL (~362.00 mM)
H2O : ~1 mg/mL (~7.24 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (18.10 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 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 25.0 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.

Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (18.10 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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.

  • 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)
