Is the compound soluble in DCM or THF?

Asked by: Raed
Thank you for your question. This biochemical compound is soluble in water (0.5 mg/ml at 25° C), ethanol (~5 mg/ml), DMSO (20 mg/ml), DMF (20 mg/ml), and methanol. I do not have information regarding solubility in THF.

What is the solubility of this chemical in methanol?

Asked by: two2igm05
Thank you for you question. Licofelone, sc-207826, is soluble in methanol, but we don't know at which concentration. However, it is soluble in DMSO at 76 mg/mL (200.06 mM), Ethanol at 10 mg/mL (26.32 mM), and Water at <1 mg/mL (<1 mM).

Hello, this is my first time on the new website. I've been able to request bulk purchase pricing for licofelone (sc-207826) in the past, but am unable to see a link that would allow me to do that here. Is this an option that is no longer available?
