Rebamipide  (Synonyms: OPC12759; Proamipide)

Cat. No.: HY-B0360 Purity: 99.94%
COA Handling Instructions

Rebamipide (OPC12759) is an orally active gastroprotective agent that enhances the production of endogenous PGs (especially intragastric PGE2) by inducing COX-2 expression, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa from injury. Rebamipide exerts anti-proliferative activity against gastric cancer cells. Rebamipide can be used in studies of mucosal protection, gastroduodenal ulcer, gastritis and gastric cancer.

Description

Rebamipide (OPC12759) is an orally active gastroprotective agent that enhances the production of endogenous PGs (especially intragastric PGE2) by inducing COX-2 expression, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa from injury. Rebamipide exerts anti-proliferative activity against gastric cancer cells. Rebamipide can be used in studies of mucosal protection, gastroduodenal ulcer, gastritis and gastric cancer[1][2].

COX-2

 

In Vitro

Rebamipide (1.4, 2.7, 5.4 mM; 24 h) inhibits proliferation of gastric cancer cell[1].
Rebamipide (5.4 mM; 30 min) activates Smad signaling pathway in AGS cells[1].
Rebamipide (5.4 mM; 3 h) induces the expression of Cdk inhibitor p21 in AGS cells[1].

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

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: AGS cells
Concentration: 1.4, 2.7, 5.4 mM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Significant decreased in cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: AGS cells
Concentration: 5.4 mM
Incubation Time: 30 min or 3 h
Result: Significantly increased phosphorylation of Smad2/3 by 1.2-fold when at 30 min and formation of Smad2/3-Smad4 complex by 1.4-fold.
Upregulated expression of p21 protein by 2.5-fold when at 3 h.
In Vivo

Rebamipide (5, 15, 50 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily for 14 days) enhances the expression of COX-2 and PGE2, and protects gastric mucosa from acid-induced injury in rat gastric mucosa[2].

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

Animal Model: Specific pathogen-free male Sprague-Dawley rats (200-230 g; 7-week-old)[2].
Dosage: 5, 15, 50 mg/kg
Administration: Oral administration; once daily for 14 days.
Result: Increased the level of COX-2 immunoreactivity and PGE2 in a dose-dependent manner. (PGE2 is implicated in protection of gastric mucosa from various insults and acceleration of gastric wound healing).
Inhibited intragastric HCl administration-induced gastric mucosal bleeding and erosion.

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 (6.74 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.74 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 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 (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
