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

MK-886, an inhibitor of the 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP), potently suppresses leukotriene biosynthesis in intact cells and is frequently used to define a role of the 5-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.34) pathway in cellular or animal models of inflammation, allergy, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. This compound inhibits isolated COX-1 (IC50=8 μM) and blocks the formation of the COX-1-derived products 12(S)-hydroxy-5-cis-8,10-trans-heptadecatrienoic acid (12-HHT) and thromboxane B2 in washed human platelets in response to collagen as well as from exogenous arachidonic acid (IC50=13–15 μM).Isolated COX-2 was less affected (IC50=58 μM), and in A549 cells, this chemical (33 μM) failed to suppress COX-2-dependent 6-ketoprostaglandin (PG)F1α formation. It (10 μM) inhibits COX-1-mediated platelet aggregation induced by collagen or arachidonic acid whereas thrombin- or U-46619-induced (COX-independent) aggregation is not affected[1].

In vivo

Repeated daily i.p. injections of MK-886 results in increased GluR1 phosphorylation in brain samples obtained from the prefrontal cortex. In contrast, a single injection of this compound does not alter cortical GluR1 phosphorylation[2].
