Bioactivity | Diclofenac potassium is a potent and nonselective anti-inflammatory agent, acts as a COX inhibitor, with IC50s of 4 and 1.3 nM for human COX-1 and COX-2 in CHO cells[1], and 5.1 and 0.84 μM for ovine COX-1 and COX-2, respectively[2]. Diclofenac potassium induces apoptosis of neural stem cells (NSCs) via the activation of the caspase cascade[3]. |
Invitro | Diclofenac effectively blocks COX-1 mediated prostanoid production from U937 cell microsomes, with an IC50 of 7±3 nM[1]. Diclofenac (1-60 μM; 1 day) induces neural stem cells (NSCs) death in a concentration-dependent manner[3].Diclofenac (10-60 μM; 6 hours) increases the expression of cleaved (activated) caspase-3[3].
