Biological Activity

Description	Chlorzoxazone(Chlorzoxazon,Paraflex) is a muscle-relaxing drug,and a probe for human liver cytochrome P-450IIE1.

In vitro
In vitro	Chlorzoxazone is well documented to be metabolized mainly to 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone physically, which is catalyzed primarily by CYP2E1. Other human hepatic P450 enzymes, namely CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 may also contribute to Chlorzoxazone metabolism. Chlorzoxazone has been used as a probe for CYP2E1 activity in microsomes from various sources (e.g., liver, kidney, lung cells) as well as directly in cell cultures. ^[1] Chlorzoxazone is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant, which acts on the spinal cord by depressing reflexes. Chlorzoxazone is able to activate rat brain SK2 channel currents in cells. The maximal response to Chlorzoxazone is achieved at 1 mM, which is 44% ( 62%) of the response to 1 mM 1-EBIO. ^[2]

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH₂O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
