Description

Idarubicin hydrochloride is an anthracycline antileukemic agent. It inhibits the topoisomerase II interfering with the replication of DNA and RNA transcription. Idarubicin hydrochloride inhibits the growth of bacteria and yeasts.

IC50 & Target[1]

Topoisomerase II

 

In Vitro

The IC50 of Idarubicin hydrochloride is 3.3±0.4 ng/mL on MCF-7 monolayers and 7.9±1.1 ng/mL in multicellular spheroids[1]. Idarubicin hydrochloride has shown a greater cytotoxicity than daunorubicin or doxorubicin in various in vitro systems. This has been attributed to a better ability of idarubicin to induce the formation of topoisomerase II -mediated DNA breaks[2]. Idarubicin hydrochloride is about 57.5-fold and 25-fold more active than doxorubicin and epirubicin, respectively[3]. Idarubicin hydrochloride produces a concentration-dependent reduction in cell growth, with an IC50 value of approximately 0.01 μM. Idarubicin hydrochloride produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of DNA synthesis[4].

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.90 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.90 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 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]

Stock solutions of idarubicin hydrochloride is dissolved in distilled water (1 mg/mL). MCF-7 monolayer are exposed to idarubicin or its metabolite idarubicinol at 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, and 1000 ng/mL for 24 hours. Multicellular spheroids are exposed to the same range of idarubicin and idarubicinol concentration as monolayers (0.01-1000 ng/mL) for 24 h and, in separate experiments, at the drug concentration of 100 ng/mL for 6, 12, 24 and 48 h. The inhibition of cell proliferation is determined by counting the viable cells with an hemocytometer. Results are expressed as percentage of cell survival vs. control cultures[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.
