IC50 & Target[1]

COX-2

5.65 μM (IC50)

COX-1

9.55 μM (IC50)

In Vitro

Naproxen etemesil is a lipophilic, non-acidic, inactive prodrug of naproxen that is hydrolysed to pharmacologically active Naproxen once absorbed. Naproxen is a well known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Naproxen is approximately equipotent inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2 in intact cells with IC50s of 2.2 μg/mL and 1.3 μg/mL, respectively[1].

In Vivo

Naproxen exerts an anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effect in mouse model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis. Naproxen also downregulates TGF-β levels and Smad3/4 complex formation[2]. Naproxen is shown to inhibit the time-courses of pain, fever and PGE2 with similar potencies (IC50=27, 40, 13 μM)[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.86 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (10.86 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Cell Assay
[1]

BAEC are incubated for 30 min with Naproxen (0.1 ng/mL to 1 mg/mL). Arachidonic acid (30 μM) is then added, and the cells are incubated for a further 15 min at 37°C. The medium is then removed, and radioimmunoassay is used to measure the formation of 6-keto-PGF,a, PGE2, thromboxane B2, or PGF2a[1].

Animal Administration
[2][3]

Rats[3]

To measure the analgesic effects of naproxen in a carrageenaninduced model of monoarthritis, Male Sprague–Dawley rats (n=48, 217±28 g) are randomly divided into four groups of 12 by an internally developed computer program, allowing the blind performance of the behavioral experiment. To induce hyperalgesia by inflammation, animals in groups 1B, 1C, and 1D receive a 40-μL intra-articular injection of a saline solution containing 7.5 mg/mL carrageenan in the left hind limb under isoflurane anesthesia (time=−1 h). Animals in group 1A receive no injection. After 1 h (time=0) the animals in groups 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D receive oral doses of naproxen in saline of 0, 0, 7.5 and 30 μmol/kg, respectively. The doses and time points of measurements are selected on the basis of simulations predicting measuring a full concentration-effect relationship within the time-span of the experiment[3].

Mice[2]

Bleomycin (0.05 IU) is instilled intratracheally to C57BL/6 mice, which are then treated by micro-osmotic pump with vehicle, JNJ7777120 (40 mg/kg b.wt.), naproxen (21 mg/kg b.wt.), or a combination of both. Airway resistance to inflation, an index of lung stiffness, is assessed, and lung specimens are processed for inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis markers[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
