Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | In the presence or absence of 10% serum, MF498 (0.01 nM–10 μM, 30 minutes) suppresses PGE2-stimulated cAMP buildup with IC50 values of 1.7 and 17 nM, respectively [1]. In VSMC, MF498 0.01 and 0.1 μM, 30 minutes) suppresses the proliferation of VSMC produced by FBS and PDGF-BB [2]. In VSMC, MF498 (0.1 μM, 30 minutes) suppresses the expression of PCNA and cyclin D1 produced by PDGF [2]. The PDGF-BB-induced migration is inhibited by MF498 (0.1 μM, 30 min) [2]. |
| ln Vivo | The Wall Street compound MF498 (0–20 mg/kg) reduces foot swelling in adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) [1]. In guinea pigs (L-902688), MF498 (0-30 mg/kg, Wall Street) attenuates EP4 vessels. At a dosage of 1.2 μM, six hours after the laboratory, MF498 (20 mg/kg, buccal) exhibits 100% bioavailability [1]. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ≥ 31 mg/mL (~51.35 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.14 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. 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 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.14 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. 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. Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.14 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. 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 corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
