Valdecoxib (Compound 2) is a highly potent, selective and orally active inhibitor of COX-2, with IC50s of 5 nM and 140 μM for COX-2 and COX-1, respeceively[1]. Valdecoxib (10, 100 μM) inhibits LPS-induced proliferation of endothelial cells and bFGF secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Valdecoxib stimulates VEGF formation via HMEC-1 under inflammatory conditions[2].

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 34 mg/mL (108.15 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" 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, 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 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.95 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 (7.95 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.

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
HMEC-1 cells proliferation is measured using the MTT conversion method. Cells are seeded (50.000 cells/well) into 96-well plates. The cells are incubated for 24 h with LPS 100 µg/mL, CoCl2 200 µM, Valdecoxib 10 or 100 µM, LPS and Valdecoxib or CoCl2 and Valdecoxib or without tested chemicals (control group). All the substances are added at the same time. After incubation, 50 µL MTT (1 mg/mL) is added and the plates are incubated at 37°C for 4 h. At the end of the experiment, cells are exposed to 100 µL DMSO, which enables the release of the blue reaction product-formazan. The absorbance at 570 nm is read on a microplate reader and results are expressed as a percentage of the absorbance measured in control cells[2].

Mice[3]
The drugs including naproxen (14 mg/kg, i.p.), rofecoxib (5 mg/kg, i.p.), meloxicam (5 mg/kg, i.p.), nimesulide (5 mg/kg, i.p.) and Valdecoxib (10 mg/kg, i.p.) are used in the assay. The animals are randomized into 7 groups (n=10 in each group), including the naive group, in which the mice only receive vehicle for 15 d without forced swimming session; the control (chronically stressed) group, in which mice receive vehicle 30 min before the forced swimming session (6 min) for 15 d; the naproxen (14 mg/kg) group; the Valdecoxib (10 mg/kg) group; the rofecoxib (5 mg/kg) group; the meloxicam (5 mg/kg) group; and the nimesulide (5 mg/kg) group. Drugs are suspended in 0.25% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and administered intraperitoneally, 30 min before the forced swimming session for 15 consecutive days[3].
