Description

Sulfasalazine is a sulfonamide drug [1]. Sulfasalazine can inhibit the NF-κB pathway and reduce cytokine release, thereby regulating immune responses [2]. Sulfasalazine is commonly used to treat inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis [3-4].

In Jurkat T-lymphocytes, Sulfasalazine (0.2mM, 0.5mM, 1mM, 2mM; 24h) induces cell apoptosis [5]. In endothelial cells, Sulfasalazine (0.125mM, 24h) inhibits tritiated thymidine incorporation and cell proliferation [6]. In RBL5 cells, Sulfasalazine (1.25mM, 24h) inhibits NF-κB/Rel activation in mouse T lymphocytes [7].

In ICR mice, Sulfasalazine (250mg/kg, 500mg/kg, 1000mg/kg; po; 4 weeks) significantly increased serum levels of ALT, ALP and TBIL [8]. In DSS-Induced ulcerative colitis mice, Sulfasalazine (30mg/kg, 60mg/kg; ip; 7d) can inhibit colon length and mucosal inflammatory infiltration [9]. In middle cerebral artery occlusion mice, Sulfasalazine (5mg/kg, 10mg/kg; iv; single injection) could reduce the infarct size and improve neuro-motor function [10].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Jurkat T-lymphocytes

Preparation Method

Jurkat T-lymphocytes were grown under standard conditions in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 100U/mL penicillin, 100μg/mL streptomycin, 2mM glutamine, and 10% FCS. Sulfasalazine was freshly dissolved in the medium and added to the culture at the indicated concentrations and times.

Reaction Conditions

0.2mM, 0.5mM, 1mM, 2mM; 24h

Applications

Sulfasalazine induces apoptosis in human Jurkat T-lymphocytes.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

ICR mice

Preparation Method

Forty ICR mice were randomly divided into four experimental groups (n = 10): control group and Sulfasalazine (SASP) groups (250mg/kg, 500mg/kg, 1000mg/kg). SASP (98% of purity) was dissolved in 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and were administered by oral gavage in a volume of 10mL/kg for 4 weeks. Control group received equal volume of 0.1% DMSO.

Dosage form

250mg/kg, 500mg/kg, 1000mg/kg; po; 4 weeks

Applications

Sulfasalazine significantly increased serum levels of ALT, ALP and TBIL.
