Biological Activity
ANT is delivered through the skin for PG (propylene glycol), TC (Transcutol P) and PGML (propylene glycol monolaurate) with the active “tracking” the skin penetration of both PG and TC[1].
Anthramycin (10-1000 μM) dose not affect the ATPase activity of heart mitochondria[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Anthramycin (0.1-0.5 mg/kg, SC, daily for 8 days) has no effect on mitochondrial metabolism of the rat heart[3].

-
Animal Model:Male ddY mice (20 ± 2 g, 12-14 each group)[2]
-
Dosage:0, 0.3, and 0.5 mg/kg
-
Administration:IP, once, 10 min before the intracisternal (i.c.) injection of CCK
-
Result:Significantly inhibited CCK-induced increase in the pain threshold in a dose-dependent manner. Almost completely suppressed the antinociceptive effects of CCK at the higher dose (0.5 mg/kg).
-
Animal Model:Female CFN Gif rats (140-180 g)[3]
-
Dosage:0.1 mg/kg, 0.25 mg/kg, and 0.5 mg/kg
-
Administration:SC, daily for 8 days
-
Result:Recorded no differences between anthramycin- and DMSO-treated rats with respect to P/O ratios, respiration rates, and ATPase activity of heart mitochondria.
