SC-560 is a member of the diaryl heterocycle class of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors.

COX-1:9 nM., COX-2:6.3 μM

Test compound is incubated with human whole blood stimulated with bacterial LPS for 4 h, followed by capture of MPO on immobilized anti-MPO antibody coated plates. The captured MPO is washed and residual MPO activity is determined using Amplex Red and H2O2.

SC-560 is dissolved in DMSO[2].HuH-6 and HA22T/VGH cells (5000/well) are treated with various concentrations of SC-560 (5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 μM) and cultured for 72 h. At the end of treatment, cell viability is assessed by MTS assay.

Rat: The pharmacokinetics of SC-560 is studied in Sprague-Dawley rats after a single intravenous (i.v.) and oral dose (10 mg/kg) in polyethylene glycol (PEG) 600 and a single oral dose (10 mg/kg) in 1% methylcellulose (MC). Serial blood samples are collected via a catheter inserted in the right jugular vein and serum samples are analysed for SC-560 using reverse phase HPLC. After oral administration of SC-560 in PEG, urine is also collected for 24 h and analyzed for urinary sodium, chloride, and potassium as well as NAG.
