Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

In vitro
Ibudilast suppressses pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α), toll-like receptor 4 blockade (TLR-4); inhibits a macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), upregulates the anti‑inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) and promotes neurotrophic factors (GDNF, NGF, NT‑4).
In vivo
Ibudilast crosses the blood-brain barrier and has a good tolerance in vivo. It inhibits platelet aggregation, improves cerebral blood flow and attenuates allergic reactions in clinical applications. In an animal model of encephalomyelitis, this compound significantly attenuates inflammatory cell infiltration in the lumbar spinal cord. After oral administration, it is well absorbed and metabolized in the liver mainly to diOH-ibudilast, which has similar or even stronger pharmacological effects.
