Description

Bleomycin sulfate is a DNA synthesis inhibitor. Bleomycin hydrochloride is a DNA damaging agent. Bleomycin sulfate is an antitumor antibiotic[1].

IC50 & Target

DNA/RNA Synthesis[1]

In Vitro

Bleomycin (BLM) sulfate is chosen as the best-studied micronucleus (MN) inducers in human lymphocytes with different mechanisms of genotoxicity. The most frequent Bleomycin-induced DNA lesions are single and double strand breaks and single apuinic/apyrimidinic sites. At the same time Bleomycin is true radiomimetic compound, resembling almost completely the genetic effect of ionizing radiation[1].
The IC50 value of Bleomycin sulfate for UT-SCC-19A cell line is 4.0±1.3 nM. UT-SCC-12A and UT-SCC-12B are both more resistant to Bleomycin (BLM); IC50 values are 14.2±2.8 nM and 13.0±1.1 nM, respectively[2].
Bleomycin sulfate (50, 100 μM; for 24, 48 h) induce pulmonary fibrosis in RLE-6TN cell (50 μM) and A549 cell (100 μM)[4].

In Vivo

Bleomycin suLfate (3.5-4.0 mg/kg; intratracheal instillation) significantly increased lung hydroxyproline levels and increased right caudal lobe mass; body weight decreased on day 4 and then increased on day 7[3].
Bleomycin suLfate (5.0 mg/kg/d; intratracheal instillation) induces pulmonary fibrosis and increases α-SMA and collagen I in BALB/c mice (20-30 g; 8 weeks old; male) The expression level[4].
Bleomycin sulfate (2.5 mg/kg; 1.25 mg/mL, 50 μL; intratracheal instillation) induces pulmonary fibrosis in male C57BL/6 mice (8 weeks old, approximately 24.5 g)[5].
Bleomycin sulfate is quickly absorbed following intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intrapleural administration and reaches peak plasma concentrations in approximately 60 min. Less than 1% of the drug given intravenously binds to plasma proteins, leading to high bioavailability. Additionally, a mean plasma drug clearance approaching 70 mL/min/m2 has been calculated for Bleomycin sulfate. Bleomycin sulfate possesses a high plasma elimination rate and high urinary excretion rate[6].
Bleomycin sulfate can be used to construct model of pulmonary fibrosis.
Induction of Pulmonary Fibrosis[7]
Background
Bleomycin sulfate can lead to lung patchy parenchymal inflammation, epithelial cell injury with reactive hyperplasia, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, activation and differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, and basement membrane and alveolar epithelium injures. The experimental use of Bleomycin sulfate is to induce pulmonary fibrosis animal models.
Specific Mmodeling Methods
Mice: C57BL/6 • 12-week-old
Administration: 3-5 mg/kg • intratracheal administration • sprays on day one
Note
The mice were housed in separate stainless-steel cages (six mice per cage) in a temperature-controlled environment (20-24°C) on 12 h light-dark cycles with unrestricted access to food and water.


Modeling Indicators
Body quality changes: The appetite activity is reduced, with the fur less shiny, the spirits being lethargic, and the bodyweight decreasing. Showed shortness of breath, coughing, and noisy.
Lung changes: Increased fibrotic consolidations, non-aerated lung area, and high-density lung area. Pulmonary function decreased.
Molecular changes: Increased indicators: TGF-β1, TNF-α, IL-6, and GM-CSF in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
Correlated Product(s): Bleomycin hydrochloride (HY-17565A)
Opposite Product(s): Neotuberostemonine (HY-N3196)

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: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (Infinity 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.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (Infinity 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.
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.

    Solubility: 100 mg/mL (Infinity mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C

  • Protocol 2

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.
