Description

Tolmetin sodium dihydrate is an orally active and potent COX inhibitor with IC50s of 0.35 μM and 0.82 μM human COX-1 and COX-2, respectively. Tolmetin sodium dihydrate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)[1][2].

IC50 & Target[1]

Human COX-1

0.35 μM (IC50)

Human COX-2

0.82 μM (IC50)

In Vitro

Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (0.25 mM) does not attenuate lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenate. Tolmetin (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 mM) shows radical scavenging properties but without superoxide anion generation in rat brain homogenat[3].
Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (0.001-100 μM) shows anticancer activity againts HT-29 colon cancer cell line in a dose-dependent manner[4].
Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (0-100 μM) shows no effect on osteoblast growth[5].

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

In Vivo

Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (30,100 mg/kg; gavage; single dose or twice daily for 3 and 14 days) shows maximal ulcerogenic effect 4 h after the single dose, while potently decreases after 3 and 14 days of repeated administration in male Wistar rats weighing 180-200 g. Tolmetin causes gastric lesions in 100 mg/kg[2].
Tolmetin sodium dihydrate (5 mg/kg twice a day for 5 days) pre-treatment considerably attenuates quinolinic acid (QA)-induced neurotoxicity[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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.96 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.96 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 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.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
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:  PBS

    Solubility: 25 mg/mL (79.29 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic

Animal Administration
[1]

Rats[1]
After 2 weeks of acclimatization, rats are randomized to different groups and given the non-selective COX inhibitors, amtolmetin guacyl (AMG) (50 and 150 mg/kg) and Tolmetin (30 and 100 mg/kg) as well as the selective COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib (CXIB; 20 and 60 mg/kg). The compounds are suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) immediately before use and administered by gavage in a 10-mL/kg volume. Control groups receive CMC in the same volume. Rats from each group are divided into 3 subgroups, consisting each of at least 10 animals. Subgroups are dosed either with a single dose (acute treatment group) or twice daily for 3 and 14 days (chronic treatment groups). To ensure that all groups are dosed for the same period of time, those receiving less than 14 days of NSAIDs are given CMC until they are due to start the assigned treatment. Rats are killed by cervical dislocation 4 h after the last administration. Stomachs are immediately removed, opened along the lesser curvature and gently rinsed[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.
