Cat. No.: HY-B1245 Purity: 99.55%
COA Handling Instructions

Salsalate is a potent antirheumatic drug with oral activity that reduces irritation during gastric absorption and avoids direct inhibition of cyclooxygenase. Salsalate not only has significant anti-inflammatory effects, but also reduces blood sugar levels, improves insulin resistance, and reduces the expression of cytokines. Salsalate can protect mice from metabolic disorders caused by high-fat diet and effectively improve the symptoms of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis[2 ].

Description

Salsalate is a potent antirheumatic drug with oral activity that reduces irritation during gastric absorption and avoids direct inhibition of cyclooxygenase. Salsalate not only has significant anti-inflammatory effects, but also reduces blood sugar levels, improves insulin resistance, and reduces the expression of cytokines. Salsalate can protect mice from metabolic disorders caused by high-fat diet and effectively improve the symptoms of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis[1][2 ][3][4][5][6].

In Vitro

Salsalate (1 mM, 72 h) inhibits the proliferation of bone marrow-derived macrophages by phosphorylating HMGCoA reductase[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: BMDMs
Concentration: 1 mM
Incubation Time: 90 min
Result: Increased phosphorylation of ACC in macrophages from WT mice but not from AMPKβ1-/- mice.

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: BMDMs
Concentration: 1 mM
Incubation Time: 72 h
Result: Inhibited proliferation of WT macrophages but not AMPKβ1-/- mice.
In Vivo

Salsalate (2.5 g/kg feed, orally, daily, for 6 weeks) inhibits macrophage proliferation and atherosclerosis in mice through an AMPKβ1-dependent pathway[1].
Salsalate (0.5%, orally, daily, for 40 days) protects mice from metabolic dysfunction induced by a high-fat diet by activating mitochondrial uncoupling and the Sln/Serca2a axis in skeletal muscle thermogenesis[2].
Salsalate (0.33%, orally, daily, for 40 weeks) improves dyslipidemia and insulin resistance in mice, enhances diet-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, reduces microvesicular and macrovesicular steatosis in the liver, and decreases the incidence of liver inflammation and fibrosis[3].

Animal Model: ApoE-/- and LDLr-/- mice and their corresponding germline or bone marrow AMPKβ1-deficient+/+[1]
Dosage: Western diet containing 2.5 g/kg salsalate; daily; 6 weeks
Administration: Oral
Result: Reduced atherosclerotic plaques in the aortic root of ApoE-/- mice, and the reduction in atherosclerosis was associated with reduced macrophage proliferation, reduced plaque lipid content, and reduced serum cholesterol.
Animal Model: High-fat diet mice[2]
Dosage: 0.5%; daily; 40 days
Administration: Oral
Result: Reduced lipid accumulation in liver and epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT), suppressed hepatic gluconeogenesis, improved insulin signaling in eWAT, increased the expression of genes related to glucose and fatty acid transport and oxidation in skeletal muscle, enhanced the expression of genes for mitochondrial uncoupling and electron transport, boosted skeletal muscle sarcolipin (Sln) and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2 (Serca2), and improved whole-body glucose homeostasis.
Animal Model: CETP mice were fed a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet[3]
Dosage: 0.33% in HFC; daily; 20 weeks
Administration: Oral
Result: Improved dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, improved diet-induced NASH, reduced liver microvesicular and macrovesicular fatty degeneration, reduced the occurrence of liver inflammation and fibrosis, activated genes controlled by PPAR-α, PPARγ coactivator 1β, RXR-α and inhibited transcription factor MLXIPL/ChREBP, downregulated NF-κB pathway, and downregulated TGF-β signaling pathway.

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 (9.68 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 (9.68 mM); Clear solution

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

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.
