Description

Carprofen is a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory agent, acts as a multi-target FAAH/COX inhibitor, with IC50s of 3.9 μM, 22.3 μM and 78.6 μM for COX-2, COX-1 and FAAH, respectively.

IC50 & Target

IC50: 3.9 μM (COX-2), 22.3 μM (COX-1), 78.6 μM (FAAH)[1]

In Vitro

Carprofen (Compound 1) is a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory agent, acts as a multi-target FAAH/COX inhibitor, with IC50s of 3.9 μM, 22.3 μM and 78.6 μM for COX-2, COX-1 and FAAH, respectively[1].
Carprofen (10 μg/mL) shows cytoprotective effects in CCL and CaCL cells and decreases apoptosis of both cells. Carprofen (10 μg/mL) exhibits nonsignificant increase in PGE2 concentration, compared with that of the respective CCL or CaCL controls[2].

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

In Vivo

Carprofen (2.2 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly decreases PGE2 concentration in blood of dogs on days 3 and 10. Carprofen also decreases amounts of gastric PGE2 synthesis on day 3, but the inhibition is not obvious on day 10. In addition, Carprofen shows no activity against gastric PGE1 synthesis in dogs on day 3 and 10[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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.60 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (7.60 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 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.

Cell Assay
[2]

Cruciate ligament cells are used and incubated with DMEM supplemented with 10% FCS for 24 hours to synchronize cell cycles. The cell cultures are then preincubated without (control) or with a nonselective COX inhibitor (acetylsalicylic acid) or a preferential COX-2 inhibitor (Carprofen, meloxicam, or robenacoxib) to ssess whether NSAIDs prevented apoptosis when the cells are subsequently incubated with SNP. For all cell cultures except those designated as controls, 1 of 3 concentrations of 1 of the 4 NSAIDs (10, 100, or 200 µg of acetylsalicylic acid/mL; 0.1, 1, or 10 µg of Carprofend/mL; 0.1, 1, or 10 µg of meloxicame/mL; or 0.1, 1, or 10 µg of robenacoxibf/mL) is added to the culture media of each cell culture, and the cells are incubated for 2 hours[2].

Animal Administration
[3]

Dogs[3]
Each dog receives Carprofen (2.2 mg/kg, PO, q 12 h), deracoxib (2 mg/kg, PO, q 24 h), or etodolac (10 to 15 mg/kg, PO, q 24 h) for 10 days in a crossover design with a 30- to 60-day washout period between treatments. On days 0, 3, and 10 of each treatment period, blood is collected for evaluation of TXB2 and PGE2 concentrations. In addition, anesthesia is induced with propofol (4 mg/kg) and maintained with isoflurane. Synovial fluid is collected from both stifle joints by use of a standard arthrocentesis technique for evaluation of PGE2 concentrations. Gastroscopy is performed during each anesthetic episode, and 3 to 6 endoscopic biopsy specimens are collected from the gastric antrum for evaluation of PGE1 and PGE2 synthesis. On day 0 for each dog, a gastric biopsy specimen is placed into a Campylobacter-like organism test kit and evaluated for up to 24 hours for Helicobacter spp. Stained slides (H&E) of gastric biopsy specimens are also evaluated for the presence of underlying inflammation[3].

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.
