Cat. No.: HY-B0111 Purity: 98.45%
Data Sheet Handling Instructions Technical Support

Drospirenone (Dihydrospirorenone) is an orally active fourth-generation progestin that interacts with the progesterone receptor (PR) and androgen receptor (AR). Drospirenone significantly decreases both plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) via the AR. Drospirenone can produce DNA damage in bone marrow cells of female mice. .

Description

Drospirenone (Dihydrospirorenone) is an orally active fourth-generation progestin that interacts with the progesterone receptor (PR) and androgen receptor (AR). Drospirenone significantly decreases both plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) via the AR. Drospirenone can produce DNA damage in bone marrow cells of female mice. [1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

Drospirenone (10-150 µM, 24-48 h) has the value of EC50 (105 to 119 μM (24 h exposure) and 51 to 58 μM (48 h exposure)) for the cytotoxicity in PLHC-1 cells[1].
Drospirenone (10-200 µM, 15-120 min) increases ROS production in PLHC-1 cells[2].
Drospirenone (0.01-10 µM, 24 h) decreases both PAI-1 and tPA secretion in human immortalized endometrial endothelial cells (HEEC)[2].
Drospirenone (1-100 µM, 72 h) causes DNA damage to MCF-7 cells when supplemented with mice liver S9 fraction[3].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1]

Cell Line: PLHC-1 cell
Concentration: 10-150 µM
Incubation Time: 24 h, 48 h
Result: Caused a 50% decline in cell viability with the effective concentration of 102-119 μM after 24 h exposure and 51-58 μM after 48 h exposure.
In Vivo

Drospirenone (10-100 mg/kg, oral gavage for five days) caused DNA damage in bone marrow cells of adult female mice[3].

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

Animal Model: Adult female mice [3]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg, 100mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage (p.o.)
Result: Caused DNA damage at dose rates of 10 and 100 mg/kg.
Enhanced the genotoxicity combinated with ethinylestradiol.

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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.82 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (6.82 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
