Biological Activity
Phenylbutazone is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX), suppressing prostaglandin synthesis. By inhibiting COX activity, phenylbutazone reduces the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, thereby suppressing downstream inflammatory cascades and pain signaling pathways. This inhibition leads to reduced leukocyte infiltration and decreased inflammatory tissue responses in preclinical models of inflammation.

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).

Pre-aliquoted for Longevity: Solid-state aliquots offer longer shelf life compared to stock solutions.
