Description

IC₅₀ & Target

As a derivative of EDTA, dexrazoxane chelates iron, thus reduce the number of metal ions complexed with anthracycline and, consequently, decrease the formation of superoxide radicals. This agent is used to protect the heart against the cardiotoxic side effects of anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin. It was speculated that dexrazoxane could be used for further investigation to synthesize new antimalarial drugs.

In Vitro

Dexrazoxane (0-500 μM; 0-24 h) induces DNA breaks, ATF3 accumulation, DNA damage response and apoptosis in human fibrosarcoma cell line^[1].
Dexrazoxane hydrochloride protects ovarian cells from DXR-induced DNA damage (neutral comet assay)^[2].

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

Western Blot Analysis^[1]

Cell Line:

Topoisomerase IIα-expressing HTETOP cells (HTETOP cells were derived from the human fibrosarcoma cell line HT1080 through the deletion of both endogenous topoisomerase IIα alleles and the insertion of a tetracycline-repressible topoisomerase IIα transgene)
Concentration:

In Vivo

Dexrazoxane hydrochloride (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, single dose) reduces acute ovarian toxicity induced by DXR (HY-121259) in mice, improving long-term fertility^[2].
Dexrazoxane hydrochloride (0-120 mg/kg, intravenous injection, once a week for 13 weeks) dose-dependently reduces DOX-induced heart toxicity in rats, mice, and dogs, but the efficacy decreases at higher doses of DOX^[3].
Dexrazoxane hydrochloride (1.5-15 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, single dose) improves motor dysfunction in mice, protects dopaminergic neurons from neurotoxin-induced SNc degeneration, along with reduced activation of glial cells, and inhibits oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress^[4].

Animal Model:

CD-1 mice induced by DXR^[2]
Dosage:

20 mg/kg, single dose
Administration:

Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)
Result:

Reduced the degree of DNA double-strand breaks, reduced the activation of γ-h2fax, reduced follicular cell death, reduced the infertility index, and improved fertility.

Animal Model:

Administration:

Intravenous injection (i.v.)
Result:

Deduced MTS in mice at different dose ratios, but the effect was less effective for higher doses of DOX. In rats, MTS was reduced in both sexes, but cardiac damage was still evident in male rats that received the highest dose of DOX. MTS decreased significantly in both sexes but cardiac lesions were still observed in dogs in all treatment groups.

Animal Model:

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
