Product Description
Semapimod is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of proinflammatory cytokine production and inhibits TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Semapimod inhibits macrophage p38 MAPK and nitric oxide production. Semapimod inhibits TLR4 signaling (IC50≈0.3 μM). Semapimod has potential role in a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CD40 IL-1β IL-6 p38 MAPK
ln Vitro
Semapimod causes pro-inflammatory gene expression in macrophages, including p38-MAPK phosphorylation, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, interleukin-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. It also drastically lowers neutral granulocyte infiltration. Semapimod totally stops the myometrium from producing nitric oxide [2]. Semapimod acts on the TLR chaperone gp96, which desensitizes TLR signaling. In vitro, gp96's ATP binding and ATPase activity are inhibited by semapimod tetrahydrochloride (IC50 = 0.2–0.4 μM). By affecting the TLR chaperone gp96, semapimod desensitizes TLR signaling [3]. GL261 invasion induced by microglia is inhibited by semapimod (0-500 nM) [4]. Even at 10 µM, serum-stimulated glioblastoma cell invasion is unaffected by Semapimod (0-10 µM), highlighting Semapimod's selectivity for monocyte-lineage cells [4]. Glioblastoma cells activated by microglia do not proliferate when semapimod (200 nM) is present [4].
ln Vivo
Semapimod (5 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 2 weeks) improves endothelial dysfunction in Obese Zucker (OZ) rats [1]. Semapimod rescues AM-induced Akt phosphorylation and cGMP synthesis in OZ rats [1]. Semapimod (6 mg/kg/day, intracranial injection for 1 week) inhibits glioblastoma cell invasion in vivo [4]. Semapimod (intracranial injection, 2 weeks) semapimos paired with radiotherapy considerably enhanced survival in GL261 tumor-bearing rats, but had no meaningful benefit in the absence of radiotherapy [4].
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male OZ rats[1]
Doses: 5 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Ip; daily for 2 weeks
Experimental Results: Restored endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in OZ rats .

Animal/Disease Models: C57Bl/6 mice (GL261 cells were orthotopically implanted)[4]
Doses: 6 mg/kg/day
Route of Administration: Intracranially for 1 week, delivered via an osmotic pump
Experimental Results: Inhibited tumor cell invasion by more than 75%.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
