Product Description

Tranilast (also known as MK 341; SB 252218; trade name Rizaben), an analog of a tryptophan metabolite, is an antiallergic drug developed by Kissei Pharmaceuticals and was approved in 1982 for use in Japan and South Korea for bronchial asthma. Indications were expanded in the 1980s to include hypertrophic and keloid scars. Interleukin-6 synthesis in endothelial cells is inhibited by tiranlast. It prevents the growth of neurofibroma cells and lowers the amount of collagen synthesized by fibroblasts. Originally discovered as an anti-allergic medication, tranilast was prescribed to treat inflammatory conditions like hypertrophic scars, atypical dermatitis, bronchial asthma, and allergic conjunctivitis. It could therefore be useful in the treatment of a variety of ailments, as the results subsequently demonstrated. Proliferative disorders, cancer, cardiovascular issues, autoimmune disorders, ocular diseases, diabetes, renal diseases, and fibrosis are just a few of the disease states in which tranilast has been shown to have positive effects.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
DP2 ( IC50 = 0.1 mM ); Angiotensin II
ln Vitro
Tranilast is an anti-allergic medication that prevents mast cells from releasing chemicals like prostaglandins and histamine, which reduces the production of collagen by fibroblasts that are derived from keloid tissues. Trenilast (3–300 mM) inhibits the production of collagen by fibroblasts from hypertrophic and keloid scar tissue, but not by fibroblasts from healthy skin. Tranistin (30–300 mM) prevents keloid fibroblasts from releasing transforming growth factor (TGF)–beta 1, which increases keloid fibroblasts' ability to synthesize collagen.[1] Tranilast helps with hypertrophic scars and keloids, which are caused by fibroblasts that proliferate abnormally and accumulate excessive amounts of collagen. The release of PGE2, IL-1 beta, and TGF-beta 1 from human monocytes/macrophages is inhibited by troglilast.[2] Tranalilast suppresses the migration that is induced by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), TGF-beta1, fetal bovine serum (FBS), and PDGF-BB. The synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycan is induced by TGF-beta 1 and spontaneous collagen synthesis is inhibited by tanninlast.[3]
ln Vivo
Tranilast reduces 3[H]-hydroxyproline incorporation induced by TGF-beta1 by 58% in the diabetic heart of rats. In the diabetic heart of rats, tranilast reduces phospho-Smad2 by 37% and attenuates cardiac fibrosis. [4] In the canine carotid artery, tranilast treatment completely stops the increase in chymaselike activity, lowers chymase mRNA levels by 43%, and lowers the carotid intima/media ratio by 63%.[5]

*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
