Roflumilast N-oxide is a PDE type 4 inhibitor. PDE type 4[1]
Roflumilast N-oxide at 2 nM partly mitigates the cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in WD-HBEC in vitro. Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM) reverses the compromised expression of E-cadherin transcripts following CSE by 45%. The expression of collagen type I is abrogated by Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM). The epithelial cell phenotype appears protected when cells are co-incubated with Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM). Pre-incubation with Roflumilast N-oxide (2 nM) also partly attenuates the nuclear translocation of β-catenin[2].
Single treatment of db/db mice with 10 mg/kg Roflumilast N-oxide enhances plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) 4-fold. Chronic treatment of db/db mice with Roflumilast N-oxide at 3 mg/kg shows prevention of disease progression. Roflumilast-N-oxide abolishes the increase in blood glucose, reduces the increment in HbA1c by 50% and doubles fasted serum insulin compare with vehicle, concomitants with preservation of pancreatic islet morphology. Furthermore, Roflumilast-N-oxide amplifies forskolin-induced insulin release in primary islets. Roflumilast-N-oxide also shows stronger glucose-lowering effects than its parent compound[3].

Cell experiment: | A549 cells are washed and cultured overnight in serum-free F-12 K medium supplemented with antibiotics, L-glutamine and HEPES. The starved cells are incubated with Neutrophil elastase (NE) for 30 min or vehicle (PBS), washed with PBS and then cultured in serum free F-12 K. After stimulation, cell supernatants are collected at 24 h (for cytokine measurements) and cell pellets are collected after 2 h (for mRNA expression analysis). Alternatively, A549 cells are pre-incubated for 2 h with Roflumilast N-oxide (RNO) (at 0.1 μM, 0.3 μM and 1 μM), vehicle (DMSO 0.01%) prior to the addition of NE. All experiments are performed in serum-free medium in triplicate and are repeated at least three times. At the end of the incubation period, culture supernatants are harvested and stored at -80°C until further analysis[1]. |
Animal experiment: | At 7 weeks of age, 16 h fasting mice receive a single oral dose of vehicle (4% methocel) or 10 mg/kg Roflumilast-N-oxide, and a glucose bolus of 2 g/kg body weight is co-administered as a physiological initiator for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. Plasma GLP-1 is analyzed 60 min before, and 10 and 60 min after administration of Roflumilast-N-oxide and glucose. The effect of Roflumilast-N-oxide on plasma GLP-1 is also investigated in the absence of the glucose bolus[3]. |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
