Description

Zafirlukast (ICI 204219) is a potent orally active leukotriene D4 (LTD4) receptor antagonist. Zafirlukast shows anti-asthmatic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects.

IC50 & Target[1]

LTD4

 

In Vivo

Zafirlukast is a peptidyl leukotriene antagonist and inhibitor of LTD4. After 13 weeks of exposure, the yield of lung tumors is significantly decreased by both dose levels of Zafirlukast (270 and 540 mg/kg), the high dose of Zileuton (1200 mg/kg), and the combinations containing 600 mg/kg Zileuton with either Zafirlukast or MK-866. The efficacy of the combination containing Zileuton and Zafirlukast to prevent lung tumors is not significantly different from the efficacy of either inhibitor administered alone. Although when administered alone at the dose level in their combination, neither Zileuton or MK-886 prevents lung tumors; the combination containing them does significantly prevent tumors. In contrast, the combination containing Zafirlukast and MK-886 does not reduce the yield of tumors, whereas Zafirlukast administered alone does significantly reduce the yield of tumors[2].

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.61 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.61 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Animal Administration

Mice[2]
Female A/J mice (5-6 weeks of age) are used. When the mice are 7-8 weeks of age, they are administered the first of two i.p. injections of vinyl carbamate of 16 mg/kg each and 7 days apart. Two weeks after the second dose of vinyl carbamate, the mice receive the leukotriene inhibitors in their diet. Zafirlukast (270 or 540 mg/kg), Zileuton (600 or 1200 mg/kg), and MK-886 (30 mg/kg) is provided at the indicated mg/kg concentrations in the diet. Mice are weighed weekly through the first 6 weeks of exposure to the leukotriene inhibitors. After which, they are then weighed every 2-4 weeks until sacrificed. Mice are sacrificed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation after 13 and 43 weeks of exposure to the drugs. The lungs are harvested, fixed overnight in formalin, transferred to 70% alcohol, and evaluated for tumors before embedding in paraffin for histology[1].

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.
