Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour. Refer to SDS for further information. Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please visit our frequently asked questions (FAQ) page for more details.
Product Description
N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitro?ne (PBN) is a commonly used free-radical spin trap. It has been shown to reduce the number of emboli-induced cerebral microinfarctions in the rabbit cortex and prevent neoplasia by its radical scavenging activity and its ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 activity. Reported to inhibit the induction of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), thereby preventing the overproduction of nitric oxide (NO). PBN in a dose of 100 mg/kg i.p. reduced necrosis of the substantia nigra, pars reticulate in flurothyl-induced status epilepticus in rats. It protects against some types of post-trauma epileptogenic events in an animal model of epilepsy.The lethal dose of PBN in rats was found to be approximately 100 mg/100 g body weight (0.564 mmol/100? g). A Cox-2 inhibitor.
