Biological activities

Etodolac is a highly cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-selective inhibitor. Etodolac is used for treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).[1] Etodolac can especially exert cytotoxicity and markedly suppress the invasive property and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production. [2] Etodolac exhibits an antitumor effect on prostate cancer cell lines (PC-3, LNCaP, and C4-2) in vitro. Etodolac inhibits the proliferation of these three cell lines (PC-3, LNCaP, and C4-2) in a dose-dependent manner. Etodolac induces downregulation of Bcl-2 and upregulation of E-cadherin. [3] Etodolac also increases the E-cadherin mRNA expression in T24 cells in vitro. Etodolac suppresses tumor growth and induces E-cadherin expression and cell apoptosis in a T24 tumor xenograft mouse model. [4]

Protocols

Etodolac is dissolved in DMSO. [3]
