Description

Dacarbazine is a nonspecific antineoplastic (antineoplastic) alkylating agent. Dacarbazine inhibits T and B lymphocyte responses with IC50 of 50 and 10 μg/mL, respectively. Dacarbazine can be used in the study of metastatic malignant melanoma[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

Dacarbazine (6.25-500 μg/mL 48 h) combines with hyperthermia-induced cytotoxicity of A375 and MNT-1 melanoma cells[5].

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

Cell Viability Assay[5]

Cell Line: A375, MNT-1
Concentration: 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 500 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 24, 48, 72 h
Result: Inhibited cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner.

Cell Cycle Analysis[5]

Cell Line: A375, MNT-1
Concentration: 5.5, 115 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Decreased (9.3%) the percentage of A375 cells at the S phase and increased the number of cells at G2/M.
Decreased MNT-1 cells at G0/G1, increasing in cells at both S and G2/M phases.

In Vivo:

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

    Add each solvent one by one:  PBS

    Solubility: 2 mg/mL (10.98 mM); Clear solution; Need ultrasonic and warming and heat to 60°C

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  50% PEG300    50% Saline

    Solubility: 5 mg/mL (27.45 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

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.
