Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Diclofenac potassium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that acts as a potent cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor targeting both COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms. By inhibiting COX activity, it blocks the conversion of arachidonic acid into pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and thromboxanes. This suppression of prostaglandin synthesis leads to reduced inflammation, pain, and fever in various preclinical models. [1]

FAQ
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).
