Description

Nitrofurazone (Nitrofural) is a broad spectrum antibiotic that has oral activity. Nitrofurazone is a nitro-aromatic drug. Nitrofurazone is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

Nitrofurazone (10-20 μg/mL) can make E. coli strain B/r triple resistant mutants, increasing drug resistance by 6 to 7 times[2].
Nitrofurazone (50 μg/mL, 30 min) inhibits the synthesis of all color RNA and ribosomal subunits and the formation of polysomes in E. coli strain B/r[3].

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

RT-PCR[3]

Cell Line: E. Coli stratin B/r
Concentration: 50 μg/mL
Incubation Time: 30 min
Result: Inhibited the synthesis of 16 and 23s ribosomal RNA and 45 RNA.
In Vivo

Cationic Bovine Serum Albumin can be used in animal modeling to construct models of urinary system deseases[1][2].

Induction of breast tumor[5]

Background
Nitrofurazone, with the involvement of cytochrome P450 reductase, generates metabolites that cause oxidative damage to the DNA of MCF-7 cells (human breast cancer-derived cells). At the same time, Amiodarone itself promotes cell proliferation and increases serum prolactin and progesterone levels in rats, thereby inducing breast cancer[4][5][6].
Specific Mmodeling Methods
Rat: Wistar • female • 4-week-old
Administration: diets containing 1000 ppm of Nitrofurazone • po • once daily, between 8 and 27 weeks of age
Note
Two-Stage Breast Cancer Induction Method:
1. At 7 weeks of age, each rat is administered a single dose of 20 mg of DMBA (9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene) orally. DMBA is dissolved in sesame oil at a concentration of 2% before use.
2. From 8 to 27 weeks of age, each rat is given a diet containing 1000 ppm of Nitrofurazone daily (ppm: parts per million, indicating the amount of Nitrofurazone per million units of the diet; for example, a concentration of 1000 ppm means 1 g of Nitrofurazone in 1 kg of feed) .
Modeling Indicators
Hormonal Changes: Significant increases in serum prolactin and progesterone levels in rats.
Histological Changes: Development of mammary tumors, with the vast majority being adenocarcinomas, and a very small number potentially being fibrosarcomas.

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: ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (13.02 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.8 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% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (13.02 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.58 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

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.
