Actividad biológica
Urethane is a good clastogen in mammalian somatic cells in vivo, but it shows variable results with cells in vitro. Urethane efficiently induces sister chromatid exchanges in a variety of cells[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
Urethane can be used in animal modeling to create lung tumor models. Approximately 90% of Urethane is hydrolyzed to ethanol, ammonia, and carbon dioxide by hepatic microsomal esterases (carboxylesterases), while only 5% of Urethane is excreted unchanged. A very small amount of Urethane is converted by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2E1 to ethylene urea, leading to the formation of an epoxide (ethylene urea epoxide). This epoxide covalently binds to DNA and may cause base misincorporation during DNA replication, thereby inducing point mutations[1][2].
Administration: 1 g/kg (in 100 μL saline)• i.p.• once per week for 16 weeks or every other day for a week[1]
(2) After mice were sacrificed, lungs were harvested, and the number of tumors and their diameter on the lung surface were measured. Serum was also collected after centrifugation[1].
Tumor changes: Urethane administration significantly increased the average number, size and diameter of tumors in PRDX4 Tg mice. Tumor apoptosis was suppressed and tumor proliferation was enhanced in Tg mice[1].
Histology analysis: Urethane administration increased microvascular permeability and macrophage infiltration in lung tumor of PRDX4 Tg mice[1].
Metabolic change: Urethane administration inhibited oxidative stress and decreased gene expressions of antioxidant enzymes (SOD1 and SOD2) in Tg mice[1].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (23.35 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (23.35 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.
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.
