Flurbiprofen axetil
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Flurbiprofen axetil is a non-selective COX inhibitor and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Flurbiprofen axetil inhibits basal-like breast cancer metastasis by inhibiting the MEK/ERK signaling pathway. Flurbiprofen axetil can promote neuroprotection after focal cerebral ischemia in rats by partially activating PPAR-γ. Flurbiprofen axetil alleviates cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by reducing inflammation in a transient global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rat model. Flurbiprofen axetil can alleviate inflammatory responses and cognitive function in a mild cognitive impairment (MCI) SD rat model through the AMPKα/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Biological Activity
|
COX |
Flurbiprofen axetil (0-160 nM, 1-6 days) does not affect the proliferation and activity, but inhibits migration and invasion in BT-549 and MDA-MB-231 cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:BT-549 and MDA-MB-231 cells
-
Concentration:0 nM, 40 nM, 80 nM, 160 nM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Inhibited the migration and invasion, and 80 nM was the most appropriate concentration to use.
Flurbiprofen axetil (10 mg/kg, i.p., once every two days, 28 days) inhibits breast cancer metastasis via inhibiting MEK/ERK signaling pathway in nude mice model[2].
Flurbiprofen axetil (10 mg/kg, i.v., once) could promote a neuroprotective effect by, or in part, activation of PPAR-γ after focal cerebral ischemia in rat[3].
Flurbiprofen axetil (5-10 mg/kg, i.v., once) protects the brain from cerebral I/R injury through reducing inflammation and brain edema in global cerebral ischemia male SD rat[4].
Flurbiprofen axetil (10 mg/kg, i.v., once) can reduce the inflammatory response and cognitive function through the AMPKα/NF-κB signaling pathway.in formalin-induced MCI SD rat model[5].

-
Animal Model:EIU rabbit model [1]
-
Dosage:0.1 g/100 mL
-
Administration:drops into the eyes, 2 times/day, 24 h
-
Result:Reduce inflammatory response and leukocyte counts and PGE2 levels, reduce iris and retinal disorder and inflammatory cell infiltration.
-
Animal Model:Breast cancer metastasis (1 × 106 MDA-MB-231-luc cells/100 µL, i.v.) nude mice (Female Balb/c, 6 weeks) model[2]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p., once every two days, 28 days
-
Result:Inhibited the expression of CD44 and VCAM-1, inhibited the metastasis. Inhibited the expression levels of key EMT markers (particularly N-cadherin and vimentin) without affecting proteins involved in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, Janus kinase/STAT3 signaling pathway, and transforming growth factor-β/Smad signaling pathway. Inhibited the phosphorylation of MEK/ERK signaling pathway proteins and ERK phosphorylation.
-
Animal Model:tMCAO male SD rat (8-12 weeks old, 280-320 g)[3]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.v., once
-
Result:Reduced neurological deficit score, reduced infarct volume percentage.
-
Animal Model:Global cerebral ischemia male SD rat (300-350 g) model[3]
-
Dosage:5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.v., once
-
Result:Reduced neurological deficit score. Reduced cerebral I/R-induced neuronal damage, reduced cell apoptosis, TUNEL positive cells, cleaved caspase-3 protein expression. Reduces AQP4 and AQP9 mRNA expressions, reduces TXB2 and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α in discrete cortex. Decreases cerebral I/R-induced inflammation in hippocampus, reduced serum TNF-α, IL-1β and ICAM-1 and NF-κB mRNA expressions.
-
Animal Model:Formalin-induced MCI SD rat (male, 250-300 g, 16-17 weeks old) model[3]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.v., once
-
Result:Relieved inflammatory pain induced by formalin injection, alleviated the effect on the cognitive function, reduced the effect on neuronal damage, decreased levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the hippocampus. Inhibited NF-κB p65 by activating AMPKα.
