Nociceptin (1 μg/mL) significantly prevents LPS (10 ng/mL)-stimulated cell migration whereas it is ineffective when added alone. Nociceptin (1 nM-10 μM) elicits a concentration-dependent blockade of LPS-mediated cell migration, with a maximal effect at 1 and 10 μM. Nociceptin counteracts LPS-induced elevation of IL-1β mRNA levels. Nociceptin (1 μM) and NNC 55-0396 induce apoptotic cell death in U87 cells. Nociceptin (1 μM) counteracts LPS-induced [Ca2+]i increase in U87 cells via β-arrestin 2. Nociceptin counteracts the LPS-induced phosphorylation of PKC and ERK in U87 cells. Nociceptin inhibits the LPS-mediated transcriptional activation of NF-kB and AP-1 reporter genes[1].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 50 mg/mL (27.64 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : ≥ 50 mg/mL (27.64 mM)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.38 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (1.38 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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
Cell proliferation assay is carried out in the assay. U87 cells are plated on 12-well plate and treated for 24 h maintained in cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Five hours before the end of the treatments, [methyl-3H] Thymidine (50 nM final concentration) is added to serum-free cell culture medium and the plate is incubated at 37°C. Thereafter, medium is removed and cells are washed twice with PBS. 200 μL of PBS is added to each well, the cells are scraped off and centrifuged at 13,000g for 3 min at 4°C; supernatants are then discarded, pellets resuspended in 500 μL of cold trichloroacetic acid (10% w/v), incubated on ice for 20 min and centrifuged at 13,000g for 3 min at 4°C. The obtained supernatant is then discarded, pellet suspended in 500 μL of cold methanol and centrifuged at 3 min for 13,000g at 4°C. After that, the pellet is suspended in 200 μL of NaOH 1 N and heated at 55°C for 10 min. Samples are then neutralized with 200 μL of HCl 1 N and 350 μL of the labeled DNA incubated in counting vials with 4 mL of Filter Count scintillation liquid. Vials are vortexed and incubated overnight at room temperature and the radioactivity is determined by liquid scintillation spectrometry.
