Shipping Condition | Small Molecules with Blue Ice, Modified Nucleotides with Dry Ice. |
General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment: [1] | |
Cell lines |
CCRF-CEM cells |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months. |
Reaction Conditions |
IC 50: 3.3 µM, 1 hour |
Applications |
Amrubicin induced DNA-protein complex formation in cultured CCRF-CEM cells in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 value of amrubicin required to inhibit the growth of CCRF-CEM cells was 3.3 µM. Accordingly, under conditions where cell growth was inhibited by amrubicin, considerable amounts of DNA-protein complexes were formed. |
Animal experiment: [2] | |
Animal models |
BALB/c nu/nu mice bearing Lu-24 or Lu-134 cells |
Dosage form |
Intravenous injection, 25 mg/kg |
Applications |
Amrubicin showed significant antitumor activities against both SCLC tumors tested, Lu-24 and Lu-134, with T/C-values at day 14 of 17% and 9%, respectively. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
