Description

Chlorambucil (CB-1348), an orally active antineoplastic agent, is a bifunctional alkylating agent belonging to the nitrogen mustard group. Chlorambucil can be used for the research of lymphocytic leukemia, ovarian and breast carcinomas, and Hodgkin’s disease[1][2][3][4].

IC50 & Target

DNA Alkylator[1]

In Vitro

Chlorambucil can deprive the function of complementary strands of DNA molecules via alkalization-induced cross interaction, and then inhibits tumor cell proliferation. Chlorambucil (0, 2.5, 5, 10 μM) exhibits slight inhibitory effect on Raji cell apoptosis, but potently increases DR4 and DR5 mRNA expression in Raji cells. Chlorambucil (10 μM) in combination with Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL, 80 ng/ml) has synergistic effect on Raji cell apoptosis and inhibition on proliferation[1].
? Chlorambucil is a DNA alkylator at high doses and, at lower doses, acts as an inhibitor of synthesis of nuclear proteins, particularly histones. Increasing doses are associated with a higher frequency of apoptosis, whereas long-term maintenance therapy has been associated with mutations of the p53 gene, leading to secondary malignancies[4].

In Vivo

Chlorambucil (0.2 mg/kg, p.o.) in combination with levamisole (5 mg/kg) has enhanced anti-cancer effect on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma which elevates apoptosis of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma and the survival rate of the mice. However, Chlorambucil exhibits adverse effects on the liver and kidneys of mice[2].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.22 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.22 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

Cultured cells at log-growth phase are digested by trypsin into single cell suspension and are seeded into 96-well plate at 1000 per well density. The plate is placed in a 37°C chamber with 5% CO2. After attached growth for 24 h, cells are treated with TRAIL at 0, 20, 40 and 80 ng/mL or Chlorambucil at 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 μM for 48 h. 10 μL CCK-8 reagent is added to each well, followed by incubation at 37°C for 4 h. Absorbance values at 450 nm are then measured by a micro-plate reader. Six parallel samples are performed in each treatment group. Cell proliferation rate (%) = mean value of experimental group/mean value of control group × 100%[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
