    Description

    Iguratimod is an antirheumatic agent, acts as an inhibitor of COX-2, with an IC50 of 20 μM (7.7 μg/mL), but shows no effect on COX-1. Iguratimod also inhibits macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) with an IC50 of 6.81 μM.

    In Vitro

    Iguratimod (T-614) is an antirheumatic agent, acts as an inhibitor of COX-2, with an IC50 of 20 μM (7.7 μg/mL), but shows no effect on COX-1. Iguratimod (0.1, 1, 10 μg/mL) inhibits bradykinin-stimulated PGE2 release from fibroblasts. Iguratimod suppresses the COX activity from bradykinin stimulated fibroblasts in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 48 μg/mL. Iguratimod (10 and 30 μg/mL) also dose-dependently inhibits COX-2 mRNA levels[1]. In addition, Iguratimod potently inhibits macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) with an IC50 of 6.81 μM. Iguratimod is synergetic with glucocorticoids in vitro[3].

    In Vivo

    Iguratimod (5 or 20 mg/kg) shows analgesic effect, significantly improves the pain withdrawal threshold of the left hind paw in dose-dependent manner in rats. Iguratimod (5 or 20 mg/kg) reduces the elevation of pERK1/2 and c-Fos in the spinal cord induced by cancer cell inoculation. Iguratimod also dose-dependently decreases the IL-6 levels in rats. In Iguratimod-treated rats, the activity of osteoclasts is weaker than the control group[2]. Iguratimod (20 mg/kg i.p.) shows significantly increased survival in BALB/c mice that are vulnerable to endotoxemia, and attenuates TNFα release measured in serum isolated 90 min post-LPS administration in wild-type C57BL/6 mice[3].

    Cell Assay
    [3]

    Briefly, human Raji B cells are plated at a density of 0.5 × 104 cells/well in a 96-well plate and synchronized by incubation for 24 h in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 0.1-0.5% FBS. Synchronized cells are pretreated with Iguratimod or vehicle for 30 min prior to stimulation with macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) for 24 h. At 20 h BrdU is added to cells and quantified using a BrdU Cell proliferation assay kit[3].

    Animal Administration
    [3]

    Mice[3]
    Endotoxemia is induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS from E. coli O111:B4. In BALB/c animals, 5 mg/kg LPS is used as a lethal dose for survival experiments; animals are treated with Iguratimod (20 mg/kg i.p.) 0.5 h prior to LPS, 6 h after LPS, and then once daily for 3 days and monitored for survival over 2 weeks. In C57BL/6 animals, 20 mg/kg LPS is used as non-lethal dose for plasma cytokine experiments; animals are pretreated with Iguratimod (20 mg/kg i.p.) twice, one dose each at 2 and 0.5 h prior to LPS administration, and euthanized at 90 min post-LPS by CO2 asphyxiation with cervical dislocation. Blood is collected by cardiac puncture and allowed to clot 20 min at room temperature and 20 min at 4°C; sera are isolated by centrifugation at 300 × g for 10 min and stored at −20°C for further analysis by TNFα ELISA (1:3 dilution)[3].

    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.
