Product Description

Olsalazine Sodium (CJ-91B) is a potent anti-inflammatory prodrug, which consists of two 5-ASA moieties linked by an azo bond.Olsalazine displays multiple effects on intestinal electrolyte. The ileal mucosa of rats and rabbits exhibits increased secretion of both sodium and chloride ions and decreased absorption of chloride ions when Olsalazine (< 2.89 mM) is applied in vitro. In addition, dose-dependent reductions in net sodium and, to a greater extent, chloride absorption are observed in the isolated rat colon at concentrations of Olsalazine < 11.5 mM. Only at a high Olsalazine concentration (11.5 mM) does potassium secretion increase as well.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Olsalazine affects intestinal electrolyte in a number of ways. When Olsalazine (< 2.89 mM) is applied in vitro, the ileal mucosa of rats and rabbits secretes more sodium and chloride ions and absorbs less of them. In the isolated rat colon, concentrations of olsalazine less than 11.5 mM also reduce net sodium and, to a greater extent, chloride absorption in a dose-dependent manner. The secretion of potassium also increases, but only up to a high concentration of 11.5 mM Olsalazine. In isolated rat jejunum, olsalazine also prevents the absorption of lactose and glucose.[1] Olsalazine, having an IC50 of 0.39 mM, is a strong inhibitor of the chemotaxis of human intestinal macrophages to LTB4. **[2]** By reduction of 31% and 73%, respectively, olsalazine (0.4 mM) inhibits the production of superoxide radicals produced by xanthine-xanthine oxidase reaction or by neutrophils activated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA).[3] Further proposed mechanisms through which mesalazine derived from olsalazine may alleviate mucosal mucosa/inflammatory colonic conditions include suppression of colonic fatty acid oxidation, inhibition of platelet activating factor, inhibition of cytokine production in human mononuclear cells, inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation by folic acid antagonism, inhibition of leukotriene synthesis from arachidonic acid via inhibition of lipoxygenase, as well as other potential mechanisms.[4] modification of the prostaglandin profile through interference with leukocyte function and prostaglandin 15-hydroxydehydrogenase [5]. [6]
ln Vivo
Olsalazine was created as a means of getting mesalazine into the colon because, when taken orally, very little of the parent molecule is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Azole bonds are broken down in the colon by azoreductase bacteria, releasing two molecules of mesalazine that have been shown to be therapeutically effective in treating inflammatory bowel disorders. [1] Experimental colitis induced by dextran sulphate sodium in nu/nu CD-1 mice is significantly prolonged in survival when ossalazine (50 mg/kg/day) is administered. [7] Tumor growth is inhibited by olsalazine in a rodent model of colorectal cancer. Olsalazine (25 mg/kg/day) reduces the number and volume of tumors in rats treated with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine by 58.17% and 62.67%, respectively. When olsalazine is administered, the number of apoptotic cells increases 1.7 times, and the rate of cell proliferation decreases by 42.4%. [8]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
