    Description

    Epirubicin hydrochloride (4'-Epidoxorubicin hydrochloride), a semisynthetic L-arabino derivative of doxorubicin, has an antineoplastic agent by inhibiting Topoisomerase[1]. Epirubicin hydrochloride inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis. Epirubicin hydrochloride is a Forkhead box protein p3 (Foxp3) inhibitor and inhibits regulatory T cell activity[2].

    IC50 & Target[1]

    Topoisomerase

     

    In Vitro

    Epirubicin hydrochloride (4'-Epidoxorubicin hydrochloride), like doxorubicin, exerts its antitumor effects by complex with DNA, resulting in damage to DNA and interference with the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Epirubicin hydrochloride may also affect the integrity and activity of cellular membranes. Maximal cell kill caused by Epirubicin hydrochloride occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle. With higher concentrations effects are also seen in early G2 as well as G1 and M phases[1].
    Epirubicin hydrochloride display antineoplastic activity against most cancer cells. Epirubicin hydrochloride is cytotoxic to Hepatoma G2 cells with IC50 of 1.6 μg/mL at 24 hr. 1.6 μg/mL Epirubicin hydrochloride induces apoptosis of Hep G2 cells, and higher activity of catalase by 50%, Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase by 110%, Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase by 172% and Mn-superoxide dismutase by 135%. Epirubicin hydrochloride increases the cellular expression of NADPH-CYP 450 reductase, and reduces GST-π expression[3].

    In Vivo

    Epirubicin hydrochloride (4'-Epidoxorubicin hydrochloride) are clinically active against a broad range of tumor types, including breast cancer, malignant lymphomas, soft tissue sarcomas, lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, gastrointestinal cancer, head and neck cancer, ovarian cancer, prostatic carcinoma, transitional bladder carcinoma and so on[4].
    Epirubicin hydrochloride at a dose of 3.5 mg/kg suppresses tumor mass of human breast tumor xenograft R-27 by 74.4 %[5].

    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:  5% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    50% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.31 mM); Clear solution

    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  5% DMSO    95% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.31 mM); Clear solution

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    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.

    Cell Assay
    [3]

    Hep G2 cells (500 cells/well, monolayer) are plated in a 96-well plate. The next day the cells are treated with Epirubicin in the medium. At the end of the incubation periods, 15% volume of MTT dye solution is added. After 1 hr of incubation at 37°C, an equal volume of solubilization/stop solution (dimethylsul-foxide) is added to each well for an additional 1 hr incubation. The absorbance of the reaction solution at 570 nm is recorded.

    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.
