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.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
COX
In vitro

Sulindac and its metabolites sulindac sulfide and sulindac sulfone can also inhibit the NF-kappaB pathway in both colon cancer and other cell lines, due to this compound-mediated decreases in IKKbeta kinase activity. The sulfide significantly reduces cell number in both preconfluent and confluent cultures of HT-29 cells with this metabolite showing approximately 4-fold greater potency. It inhibits the growth of a variety of tumor cell lines derived from other tissues, as well as normal epithelial cells and fibroblasts. This sulphide abrogates beta-catenin/TCF-mediated transcription in the CRC cell lines DLD1 and SW480, and decreases the levels of nonphosphorylated beta-catenin.

In vivo

Sulindac not only inhibits tumor formation but decreases small bowel Cox-2 and prostaglandin E(2) to baseline and restored normal levels of apoptosis in a murine modelof familial adenomatous polyposis. This compound reduces the tumor number by 95% but does not alter the levels of PGE2 and LTB4 in intestinal tissues in Min/+爉ice. It reduces tumor number by 82%, whereas eicosanoid levels remained elevates in Min/+ mice. This chemical causes regression of 70-80% of small intestinal tumors in Min/+ mice within 4 days, but does not have the same impact on colonic lesions.
