Product Description

Sulfasalazine (NSC-667219) is an approved antiinflammatory drug used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease such as including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It has been claimed that sulfasalazine can stop NF-κB activity. In comparison to other DMARDs, it is frequently well tolerated. Sulfasalazine has been shown to reverse the scarring linked to liver cirrhosis in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic alcoholics.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
NF-κB; COX-2; TGF-β; RelA; Autophagy
ln Vitro
Sulfasalazine treatment prevents NFκB activation brought on by TNFα, LPS, or phorbol ester in SW620 colon cells. Sulfasalazine inhibits NFκB-dependent transcription at micro- to millimolar concentrations. Through the inhibition of IB degradation, sulfasalazine prevents TNFα-induced nuclear translocation of NFκB[1]. All pro-inflammatory cytokines have their basal mRNA expression levels significantly increased by pre-incubation with 5 mM sulfasalazine alone, with IL-6 mRNA levels increasing by 80 times when compared to vehicle control[2]. Colonic bacteria break down sulfasalazine after digestion to produce sulfapyridine and 5-aminosalicylic acid, both of which have been shown to inhibit NF-kappaB activity[3].
ln Vivo
The amount of leukocytes that accumulated in the inflamed (carrageenan, 2 mg/ml) air pouch in the murine air pouch model of inflammation is significantly reduced by sulfasalazine. It is consistent with the in vitro finding that sulfasalazine inhibits AICAR transformylase that sulfasalazine treatment leads to a significant increase in splenocyte 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamidoribonucleotide (AICAR) concentration.
Cell Assay
In the culture medium, sulfasalazine is dissolved. In addition to glutamine, 10% heat-inactivated FCS, and 1% (wt/vol) penicillin/streptomycin, SW620 cells are grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium. The 3xIgkBLuc reporter construct is transfected into SW620 cells. Prior to stimulation with TNFα, LPS, or PMA, cells are first allowed to rest for 18 hours with either medium alone or sulfasalazine (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 mM). The luciferase assay is carried out[1].
Animal Protocol
Mice: Sulfasalazine is dissolved in 0.1 M NaOH and neutralized by titrating with 0.1 M HCl. A SCID mouse's head is implanted with U-87MG glioma cells. Animals are randomly divided into three groups of five after seven days. For three weeks, one group is given twice-daily 1 mL intraperitoneal saline injections. The two test groups are given 8 mg of sulfasalazine in 1 mL of saline twice daily for three weeks. Animal health and tumor growth were observed. Mouse brains were removed, rinsed, and put in 30% sucrose after being perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde[3].

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*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
g/mol

Molecular Weight Calculator allows you to calculate the molar mass and elemental composition of a compound, as detailed below:

Note: Chemical formula is case sensitive: C12H18N3O4  c12h18n3o4
Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
