Biological activities

NS-398 is a novel anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent. NS-398 is a selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitor. [1] NS-398 inhibits COX-1 and COX-2, with IC50s of 9.2 and 0.08 µM, respectively. And the ratio of COX-1 to COX-2 is >100. [2] NS-398 enhances radio-sensitivity in H460 and RIE-S cells in a concentration-dependent manner. NS-398 enhances radiation-induced apoptosis in RIE-S cells but not in RIE-AS cells. [1] In the in vitro ovarian perfusion model, NS-398 (10 µM) reduces the number of ovulations initiated by luteinizing hormone (LH) and isobutyl-methylxanthine. NS-398 reduces the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in isolated, LH-stimulated preovulatory follicles incubated in vitro. [2] NS-398 can reduce the proliferation of monolayer cell cultures, as well as the growth of spheroids and tumor cell migration, in a dose-dependent manner. NS-398 suppresses the proliferation of the two glioma cell lines (NS-398 and U-251MG) with IC50 of 80 and 130 µM, respectively. [3] NS-398 reduces Colo320 and THRC cell lines proliferation with IC50 of 54.8 and 77.2 µM, respectively. [4] NS-398 inhibits hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-induced invasiveness of HepG2 human hepatoma cells through extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2. [5] NS-398 inhibits the proliferation and maturation of differentiated myogenic precursor cells. NS-398 promotes fibrosis by upregulating TGF-β1 expression. [6] NS-398 (36 mg/kg) enhances the effect of radiation on H460 tumors in vivo. [1] NS-398 decreases the regeneration of injured muscle by delaying the maturation of regenerating myofibers. NS-398 administration also reduces the inflammatory response and up-regulated myostatin expression. [6]

Protocols

NS-398 is dissolved in DMSO and stored at -20°C. [1]
