Product Description

Tolfenamic Acid (formerly GEA 6414; GEA6414; GEA-6414; Clotam), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), is a potent and selective COX-2 inhibitor with potential anti-inflammatory activity. It inhibits COX-2 with an IC50 of 0.2 μM.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug tolfenamic acid (GEA 6414) selectively inhibits COX-2 in LPS-treated canine DH82 monocytes with an IC50 of 13.49 μM (3.53 μg/mL). macrophages, although COX-1 is unaffected [1]. At 100 μM, tolfenamic acid (GEA 6414) suppresses more than 70% of BE3, OE33, and SKGT5 cell viability. Another strong Sp protein inhibitor is tolfenamic acid (GEA 6414), which has the ability to lower Sp1 and Sp4 as well as stop the expression of c-Met in esophageal cancer cells BE3 and SKGT5 [2]. L3.6pl cells are subjected to a considerable downregulation of CENPF, KIF20A, LMNB1, MYB, SKP2, CCNE2, and DDIT3 gene expression in response to 50 μM tolfenamic acid (GEA 6414)[3].
ln Vivo
In an esophageal tumor model generated by N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA), tolfenamic acid (GEA 6414) at a dose of 50 mg/kg, three times a week, suppresses the formation and incidence of tumors. Rats treated with NMBA also showed decreased tumor volume and variety when given tolfenamic acid (GEA 6414) [2].
Animal Protocol
50 mg/kg; oral gavage
Mice: The Fischer 344 (F-344) rat model of esophageal SCC are initially housed two per cage, but eventually separated to one per cage due to increase in size, and are maintained under standard, humane conditions (20±2°C, 50±10% relative humidity, 12-h light/dark cycles). Food and water are provided ad libitum. Body weights are recorded at the time of each dosing. Two weeks after arrival in the animal facility, the rats are randomLy assigned into 4 groups: C: NMBA (1-5 week); NTA: (NMBA 1-5 week and then Tolfenamic Acid (GEA 6414) 6-25 week); NC: Negative control (vehicle); and TA: Tolfenamic Acid (GEA 6414) negative control. Control (C) and NTA groups are injected s.c. with NMBA (0.5 mg/kg) in 0.2 mL vehicle three times per week for 5 weeks while negative control groups are injected with vehicle alone. NTA and Tolfenamic Acid groups also receive 50 mg/kg Tolfenamic Acid (GEA 6414) by oral gavage from week 6 through week 25. After the 25th week, the animals are sacrificed, esophagi are cut open longitudinally, and surface tumors are mapped and counted. The number and the size of lesions, including polyps are recorded and images captured. Tumor volume is calculated using the formula for a prolate spheroid: length × width × height × p/6.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO:52 mg/mL (198.7 mM)
Water:<1 mg/mL
Ethanol:<1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.95 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (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 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 3.8212 mL 19.1058 mL 38.2117 mL
5 mM 0.7642 mL 3.8212 mL 7.6423 mL
10 mM 0.3821 mL 1.9106 mL 3.8212 mL

*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
