Description

Hygromycin B is an aminoglycoside antibiotic active against prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

IC50 & Target

Aminoglycoside

 

In Vitro

Hygromycin B, an aminocyclitol antibiotic that strongly inhibits both 70S and 80S ribosomes, is synthesized by Streptomyces hygroscopicus[1].
Hygromycin B at 0.38 mM concentration completely halts yeast cell growth in rich media, presumably by preventing protein synthesis by cytoplasmic ribosomes. Polypeptide synthesis in cell-free extracts from rabbit reticulocytes, wheat germ and yeast is strongly blocked by low concentrations ofhygromycin B. The antibiotic inhibits peptide chain elongation by yeast polysomes by preventing elongation factor EF-2-dependent translocation. The inhibition of translocation by hygromycin B might result from the stabilization of peptidyl-tRNA bound to the ribosomal acceptor site[2].

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

In Vivo

Hygromycin B inhibits protein synthesis by blocking ribosomal translocation without causing significant misreading in vivo[3].
Constitutive expression of the bacterial hygR gene in transgenic mice in vivo confers resistance to hygromycin B[4].

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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (9.48 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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: ≥ 5 mg/mL (9.48 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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.

Animal Administration
[4]

Hygromycin B is dissolved in sterile water. The mice C57BL/6J-TgN(pPWL512hyg)1Ems carrying hygR are treated with a single dose of hygromycin B i.p. at doses that starts at 2.7 mg/kg and increases by 50% for each consecutive dose. Control wild-type C57BL/6J mice are treated with the same volume of sterile saline. Total volume injected is 0.5 mL. The health status and body weights of animals are monitored daily for 10 consecutive days[4].

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.
