Diclofenac (potassium) (Standard)

Diclofenac (potassium) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Diclofenac (potassium) . This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Diclofenac potassium is a potent and nonselective anti-inflammatory agent, acts as a COX inhibitor, with IC50s of 4 and 1.3 nM for human COX-1 and COX-2 in CHO cells[1], and 5.1 and 0.84 μM for ovine COX-1 and COX-2, respectively[2]. Diclofenac potassium induces apoptosis of neural stem cells (NSCs) via the activation of the caspase cascade[3].
