Darbufelone (CI-1004) is a dual inhibitor of cellular PGF2α and LTB4 production, it is also a COX-2 inhibitor potentially for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Darbufelone potently inhibits PGHS-2 (IC50=0.19 μM) but is much less potent with PGHS-1 (IC50=20 μM). The IC50 of A549 and H520 are 20±3.6 and 21±1.8 μM, respectively, while the H460 has much lower IC50 (15±2.7 μM).
Darbufelone is orally active and nonulcerogenic in animal models of inflammation and arthritis. The tumor volumes decrease in a time-dependent manner on mice treated with Darbufelone (80 mg/kg/day). In contrast, lower dose of Darbufelone (20 or 40 mg/kg/day) dos not show any significant inhibition of tumor weight. At necropsy, the tumor weight in mice treated with Darbufelone (80 mg/kg/day) is reduced by 30.2% in comparison with control group.

| Preparation method | In brief, tumor cells growing in log-phase are trypsinized and seeded at 5×103 cells per well into 96-well plates and allowed to attach overnight. Medium in each well is replaced with fresh medium or medium containing various concentrations of Darbufelone (5-60 μM) in at least triplicate wells. Cells are cultured to another 72 h. After treatment, 1/10 volume of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) is added to each well, and the plate is incubated at 37°C for another 4 h. Two hundred microliters of DMSO is added to each well to solubilize the MTT-formazan product after removal of the medium. Absorbance at 595 nm is measured with a multi-well spectrophotometer. Growth inhibition is calculated as a percentage of the untreated controls. |
