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.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Glucocorticoid receptor [1]
In vitro

Prednisolone (50 mg/kg, im) given 15 min before LPS-attenuated production of NO2- and NO3- by neutrophils and suppresses LPS-stimulated mRNA for NOS II in rat neutrophils. [1] This compound reduces joint swelling through a mechanism associated with a reduction in IL-1beta and IL-6 protein and mRNA expression levels in SCW-induced arthritis rats. [2] Its anti-inflammatory effects can be mediated by reducing cellular adhesion molecule (CAM) expression. This compound (0.75 mg/kg) reduces macrophages (-59%, -57%), CD4(+) T-cells (-50%, -60%), CD8(+) T-cells (-58%, -48%), and eosinophils (-36%, -25%) in quadriceps and soleus muscles, respectively. It also exhibits decreased vascular P-selectin (-82%) and ICAM-1 (-52%) expression and fewer L-selectin (-79%) and ICAM-1 (-57%) expressing mononuclear cells in quadriceps. This chemical reduces sarcolemmal damage and degeneration as well in Dystrophin-deficient, mdx mice. [3]

In vivo

Prednisolone (5 mg/kg) causes alterations in diaphragmatic contractile properties and histological changes without fiber atrophy in rats. This compound results in an increased number of diaphragmatic bundles in rats. [4] It induces a significant decline of PL-pO2, while CoBF, CMs, CAPs, and ABRs revealed no change in guinea pigs. [5]
