Description

Semicarbazide hydrochloride is an orally active urea derivative. Semicarbazide hydrochloride binds to copper or iron in cells. Semicarbazide hydrochloride inhibits the activity of soluble semicarbazide sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO). Semicarbazide hydrochloride damages cartilage, blood vessels, ovaries, testicles, and thyroid follicles[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].

In Vitro

Semicarbazide (1 mM) hydrochloride inhibits the activity of soluble SSAO in vitro[2].

In Vivo

Semicarbazide hydrochloride (10-250 ppm in diet; p.o.; daily; 52 weeks for chronic toxicity study and 104 weeks for carcinogenicity study) causes enlargement of knee joints, reduces body weight, and histopathological changes in bone, cartilage and aorta, but shows no carcinogenicity in rats[3].
Semicarbazide hydrochloride (500-1,000 ppm in diet; p.o.; daily; 4 weeks) causes more severe osteochondral and vascular lesions in 3-week-old female SD rats compared to 20-week-old female SD rats[4].
Semicarbazide (40 mg/kg body weight; p.o.; daily; 4 weeks) hydrochloride causes distortion and degeneration of thyroid follicles in juvenile male albino rats, and most of the follicles appear normal after 4-week recovery[5].
Semicarbazide hydrochloride (40 mg/kg body weight; p.o.; daily; 4 weeks) causes a significant drop in body weight, GnRH, LH, FSH and E2 hormone levels, and histopathological alterations in ovarian tissues of adult female albino rats[6].
Semicarbazide (40 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 4 weeks) hydrochloride causes significant structural changes in juvenile seminiferous tubules of rat testis, including vacuolated spermatogenic and Sertoli cells, discontinuity of germinal epithelium and thickened basement membrane[7].
Semicarbazide (40-140 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 28 days) hydrochloride causes mortality at high and mid-dose levels, decreased body weight gain in male rats even at the lowest dose, lack of mineralization in cartilage at all dose levels, and histological alterations in multiple organs in juvenile Sprague-Dawley rats[8].
Semicarbazide (7.5-30.0 mg/kg, i.g., 28 days) hydrochloride causes its accumulation and affects oxidative stress as well as hepatic metabolic enzyme activity in rats[9].

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 (22.42 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 (22.42 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.

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.

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.
