Biological Activity
PDE type 4[1]
Roflumilast N-oxide at 2 nM partly mitigates the cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in WD-HBEC in vitro. Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM) reverses the compromised expression of E-cadherin transcripts following CSE by 45%. The expression of collagen type I is abrogated by Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM). The epithelial cell phenotype appears protected when cells are co-incubated with Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM). Pre-incubation with Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM) also partly attenuates the nuclear translocation of β-catenin[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : 250 mg/mL (596.36 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
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, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.

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 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.96 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.

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
A549 cells are washed and cultured overnight in serum-free F-12 K medium supplemented with antibiotics, L-glutamine and HEPES. The starved cells are incubated with Neutrophil elastase (NE) for 30 min or vehicle (PBS), washed with PBS and then cultured in serum free F-12 K. After stimulation, cell supernatants are collected at 24 h (for cytokine measurements) and cell pellets are collected after 2 h (for mRNA expression analysis). Alternatively, A549 cells are pre-incubated for 2 h with Roflumilast N-oxide (RNO) (at 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM and 1 μM), vehicle (DMSO 0.01%) prior to the addition of NE. All experiments are performed in serum-free medium in triplicate and are repeated at least three times. At the end of the incubation period, culture supernatants are harvested and stored at -80°C until further analysis[1].

At 7 weeks of age, 16 h fasting mice receive a single oral dose of vehicle (4% methocel) or 10 mg/kg Roflumilast-N-oxide, and a glucose bolus of 2 g/kg body weight is co-administered as a physiological initiator for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. Plasma GLP-1 is analyzed 60 min before, and 10 and 60 min after administration of Roflumilast-N-oxide and glucose. The effect of Roflumilast-N-oxide on plasma GLP-1 is also investigated in the absence of the glucose bolus[3].
