Description

Ifosfamide is an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent with activity against a wide range of tumors.

IC50 & Target

DNA Alkylator[1]

In Vitro

Ifosfamide is an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent with activity against a wide range of tumors[1].
Ifosfamide is activated by the cytochrome P450 family. Ifosfamide (0-5 mM) suppresses the viability of CYP2B1-expressing C8III-1 cells, while it is cytotoxic to the non-CYP2B1-expressing CrFK cells only at high concentration (5 mM)[2].
CYP BM3 mutants activates Ifosfamide, and Ifosfamide shows inhibitory activity against human U2OS cells[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Ifosfamide (50 mg/kg, i.p.) treatment before mating increases percentage of post-implantation loss and resorbs fetuses in pregnant rats. Ifosfamide also (50 mg/kg, i.p.) decreases the progesterone in the serum of pregnant rats. However, Ifosfamide causes no obvious difference with the control rats at 25 mg/kg. Ifosfamide (25, 50 mg/kg, i.p.) induces apoptosis and histological changes in the placentas and prenatal rats, most sensitive fetal organs are the brain, liver and kidney[1].

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 (9.58 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 (9.58 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.

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.

  • Protocol 1

Cell Assay
[2]

In a 3-cm dish, 4 × 104 cells are seeded in 2 mL of medium. The next day, Ifosfamide is added to final concentrations from 0 to 5 mM. After six additional days the medium is removed, the cells washed with PBS, and either stained or counted[2].

Animal Administration
[1]

Rats[1]
Prior to mating, female rats are divided into four groups of eight: group 1, untreated negative controls; group 2, rats injected i.p. with 1 mL 0.9% NaCl; group 3, rats injected i.p. with 25 mg/kg Ifosfamide; group 4, rats injected i.p. with 50 mg/kg Ifosfamide. After injection of Ifosfamide once daily for 5 consecutive days, three females are placed in a cage with one untreated male for up to 1 week. Vaginal smears are examined daily to determine pregnancy. The first 24 h period following mating is designated day one of pregnancy if sperm are detected. The pregnant females are housed singly and observed daily for signs of toxicity and abortion. All pregnant animals are sacrificed by decapitation on day 18 of gestation. Cardiac blood (2.5 -3 mL/rat) is collected in nonheparinized test tubes, centrifuged at 3,000× g for 30 min and the serum is decanted and stored at -70°C until used for hormone assay. After blood collection, uteri and both ovaries are removed, washed in saline solution and the corpora lutea of pregnancy are counted visually, and the number of implantation sites, resorption sites and viable fetuses are counted in each uterine horn. Each fetus is removed from its umbilical cord, weighed and the crown rump (CR) length is measured. Fetuses are examined for external malformation and the placental weights are recorded. Fetuses and placentas of control and treated groups are fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for immunohistochemical and histological examination[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.
