Product Description

Diclofenac potassium (Voltarol; Voltaren), the potassium salt of diclofenac, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is able to reduce inflammation and to be used as an analgesic reducing pain in certain conditions. It acts as a non-selective COX inhibitor with IC50 of 0.5 μg/ml and 0.5 μg/ml for COX-1 and -2 in intact cells, respectively.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Diclofenac, with an IC50 of 7±3 nM, can efficiently inhibit COX-1-mediated prostaglandin synthesis in U937 cell microsomes[1]. Neural stem cell (NSC) mortality is concentration-dependently induced by diclofenac (1-60 μM; 1 day) [3]. The expression of cleaved (activated) caspase-3 is increased by 10–60 μM diclofenac when given for six hours [3].
ln Vivo
Rats treated with diclofenac (3 mg/kg twice daily for 5 days) had a considerable increase in 51Cr excreted in their feces; squirrel monkeys treated with 1 mg/kg twice daily for 4 days also experienced this effect [1]. In vivo anti-inflammatory efficacy has been seen in Wistar rats treated with 10 mg/kg of diclofenac orally prior to induction of inflammation [1].
Cell Assay
Cell viability assay [3]
Cell Types: Neural stem cells (NSC)
Tested Concentrations: 1, 3, 10, 30, 60 μM
Incubation Duration: 1 day
Experimental Results: The induction of cell death is concentration-dependent, and the effect is not saturated at a certain concentration . Concentrations up to 60 μM.

Western Blot Analysis[3]
Cell Types: Neural Stem Cells (NSC)
Tested Concentrations: 10, 30 or 60 μM
Incubation Duration: 6 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Activation of caspase-3 increased in a concentration-dependent manner.

Doses: 3 mg/kg
Route of Administration: po (po (oral gavage)) bid, for 5 days
Experimental Results: It resulted in a significant increase in 51Cr excretion in feces.

Additional Infomation
Diclofenac potassium is the potassium salt of diclofenac. It contains a diclofenac(1-).
Diclofenac Potassium is the potassium salt form of diclofenac, a benzene acetic acid derivate and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activity. Diclofenac potassium is a non-selective reversible and competitive inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX), subsequently blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin precursors. This leads to an inhibition of the formation of prostaglandins that are involved in pain, inflammation and fever.
A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) with antipyretic and analgesic actions. It is primarily available as the sodium salt.

*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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
