Doxorubicin (Hydroxydaunorubicin), a broad-spectrum anthracycline antibiotic with cytotoxic properties, is an anti-cancer chemotherapy agent. Doxorubicin has fluorescence properties. Doxorubicin inhibits topoisomerase II with an IC50 of 2.67 μM, thus stopping DNA replication. Doxorubicin reduces basal phosphorylation of AMPK and its downstream target acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Doxorubicin induces apoptosis and autophagy. Doxorubicin inhibits human DNA topoisomerase I with an IC50 of 0.8 μM.

    In Vitro

    Combination of Doxorubicin (Hydroxydaunorubicin) and Simvastatin (HY-17502) in the highest tested concentrations (2 μM and 10 μM, respec-tively) kills 97% of the Hela cells[4].
    Doxorubicin can label neuron cells, and it is bright red under Rhodamine filter bag, and light red-orange under catecholamine filter bag[8].
    Doxorubicin (5 μM; 10-30 min) can be accumulated in B16-F10 melanoma cell line CRL-6475 in a time-dependent manner, and can be detected by green or red fluorescence (green fluorescence has higher detection sensitivity) with a maximum excitation wavelength (λex) and a maximum emission wavelength (λem) of 470 nm and 560 nm, respectively[10].

    In Vivo

    Doxorubicin (4-8 mg/kg) can delay tumor growth and reduce the expression of c-FLIP in PC3 xenograft nude mice.
    Doxorubicin (Intraperitoneal injection; single dose (10 mg/kg) / once daily for 10 days (1 mg/kg) / once per week for 5 weeks (2 mg/kg)) has cardiotoxicity in Sprague-Dawley rats, but compared with a single dose of 10 mg/kg, cumulative dosing of 10 mg/kg over several days or weeks can increase the survival rate of rats.[6] Doxorubicin (4%-20%; Intrastriatal injection; Single dose) is neurotoxic in Sprague-Dawley rats[8].
    Doxorubicin can be coupled to gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) by PH-sensitive bonding under acidic conditions, allowing it to pass through the blood-brain barrier with a maximum absorption wavelength of 528 nm[9].

    Administration: ntraperitoneal injection (i.p.); Single dose .After injected PC3 cells (4 × 106) subcutaneously into the flank of mice.

    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) ; Single dose (schedule 1). Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.); Once daily for 10 days (schedule 2). Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.); Once per week, for 5 weeks(schedule 3).
    Result: In schedule 1, caused 30% of the rats to die at the end of week 2 and 80% by day 28.
    In schedule 2 , caused 55% of the rats to die at the end of week 13 and 80% by day 107.
    In schedule 3, caused 42% of the rats to die at the end of week 13 and 80% by day 98.
    Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats[8]
    Dosage: 1%, 2%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 10%, 20%
    Administration: Intrastriatal injection; Single dose
    Result: In doses of 4, 5, 6, 10 or 20% caused obvious loss of ipsilateral SNc and VTA neuronsz and doses of 1 or 2% failed to produce obvious neuron loss.

    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.
