Description

Fenamic acid (N-Phenylanthranilic acid, NPAA) is an orally active chloride channel blocker. Fenamic acid is the basic constituent of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIA), and derives into mefenamic, tofenacin, flufenac acid and melofenac acid. Fenamic acid also acts as antibacterial and analgesic agent[1]-[6].

IC50 & Target

Chloride Channel[1]
In Vitro

Fenamic acid (N-Phenylanthranilic acid, NPAA) (2.5 mM; 3 h) inhibits Cl- transportation and blocks 36C1- uptake and efflux in endothelial cells[1][2].
Fenamic acid exhibits selectivity to AKR1B10 (the tumor-marker) over human AR, and inhibits AKR1B10 with IC50s of 0.76 μM (Flufenamic acid), 1.6 μM (Mefenamic acid), 9.89 μM (Meclofenamic acid), respectively[4].
Fenamic acid (4-16 µg/mL; 72 h) inhibits 50% of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with an MIC50 value from 4 to 16 µg/mL (tolfenamic acid, flufenamic acid, and meclofenamic acid) in a low frequency of resistance[5].
Fenamic acid (2-8 µg/mL; 8 h) reduces the expression of the porinflammatory cytokines (IL-8, IL-6 and IL-ß) by infected endocervical cells without (>128 µg/mL; 24 h) inhibition towards commensal Lactobacillus spp. belonging healthy female genital microbiota[5].

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: ≥ 4.17 mg/mL (19.56 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 4.17 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (41.7 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.

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.
