Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | In 48 hours, ketorolac (RS37619) salt (0–30 μM) efficiently destroys oral cancer cells [4]. In H357 cells, ketorolat (0–5 μM; 48 h) causes apoptosis and suppresses the production of the DDX3 protein [4]. The growth of oral cancer cells is inhibited by ketorolat (0-2.5 μM; 0-16 hours) [4]. Ketorolat (0-50 μM) decreases ATPase activity by directly interacting with DDX3 [4]. |
| ln Vivo | Rabbits treated with ketorolac (RS37619) (0.4% Ketorolac Tromethamine Eye Drops) demonstrated strong ocular anti-inflammatory effects [1]. There are no negative effects of ketorolac (4 mg/kg/day orally; 2 weeks) on the volume fraction of trabecular bone formed in the rats' alveolar sockets [2]. In rats, intrathecal injection of ketorolac (60 μg) once reduces damage from spinal cord ischemia [3]. Oral cancer incidence in mice is decreased by ketorolat (20 and 30 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice weekly for 3 weeks) [4]. |

Upregulates the expression of E-cadherin. Apoptosis analysis[4] Cell Types: H357 Tested Concentrations: 2.5 and 5 μM Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Induction of apoptosis. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals). Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] *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.
