Biological Activity
Lidocaine (Alphacaine) is an amide local anesthetic with anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. It has this functions perhaps due to an attenuation of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), pro-inflammatory cytokines, and reduction of neutrophils influx.
Target(s): MEK, NF-kappaB, ERK, Apoptosis, Histamine Receptor, Sodium Channel
Signaling pathway(s): Apoptosis, GPCR/G Protein, Immunology/Inflammation, Membrane transporter/Ion channel, MAPK, Neuroscience, NF-kappab
Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
Stock concentration (mM) = [mass (mg) × 1000] / [MW (g/mol) × volume (mL)]. Example: to prepare 10 mM stock from 5 mg of a 500 g/mol compound: volume = (5 × 1000) / (500 × 10) = 1 mL DMSO. For working solutions, dilute the DMSO stock into assay buffer: C₁V₁ = C₂V₂. For a 1 µM working solution from a 10 mM stock in a 1 mL assay volume, add 0.1 µL of stock (or pre-dilute to an intermediate concentration first).
For normal mice, the concentration of DMSO should be kept below 10%. For nude mice, transgenic mice, or mice with weak tolerance, the concentration of DMSO should be kept below 2%. For inhibitors being used for the first time, it is recommended to perform a solvent-negative control experiment to confirm that the solvent has no nonspecific effects on the animals.
