Product Description

Tigecycline (GAR936; GAR-936; TYGACL) is a potent tetracycline antibiotic which is bacteriostatic. It acts as a protein synthesis inhibitor by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria and thereby blocking entry of Aminoacyl-tRNA into the A site of the ribosome during prokaryotic translation.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Bacterial protein synthesis; FGFR1 (IC50 = 9.3 nM); FGFR2 (IC50 = 7.6 nM); FGFR3 (IC50 = 22 nM); FGFR4 (IC50 = 290 nM)
ln Vitro
AML2 cells and HL-60 cells are inhibited by tigecycline (0.63-30 μM, pre-eluted for 4 days, treated for 72 hours) with IC50 values of 4.72±0.54 and 3.06±0.85 μM, respectively (freshly produced). Tigecycline inhibits HL-60 cells and AML2 cells with IC50 values of 4.27±0.45 μM and 5.64±0.55 μM, one day prior to bias. With an IC50 of 5.02±0.60 and 4.39±0.44 μM (pre-biased for two days), tigecycline inhibits AML2. The IC50 values for cells and HL-60 cells, respectively, are 4.09±0.41 and 3.95±0.39 μM (pre-diluted for three days). After 4 days of pre-dilution in saline, tigecycline's capacity to suppress bleaching of TEX human cells decreased (from IC50~5 μM when freshly synthesized) to IC50>50 μM by CellTiter Flour Measure [1].
ln Vivo
In NOD/SCID mice, tigecycline (50 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; twice daily; for 11 days) reduces tumor volume and weight [1]. In physiological saline, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax), terminal half-life (t1/2), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), clearance rate (CL), and distribution concentration (Vz) of tigecycline are, respectively, 22.8μg/mL, 108.9 min, 1912.2min*μg/mL, 26.1 mL/min/kg, 4109.4 mL/kg. In tigecycline formulation (60 mg/mL pyruvate, 3 mg/mL ascorbic acid, physiological saline), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), clearance (CL), and distribution waveform (Vz) are 15.7 μg/mL, 110.3 min, 2036.5 min*μg/mL, 24.6 mL/min/kg, and 3906.2 mL/kg.

Additional Infomation
Tigecycline is tetracycline in which the hydroxy group at position 5 and the methyl group at position 6 are replaced by hydrogen, and with a dimethylamino substituent and an (N-tert-butylglycyl)amino substituent at positions 7 and 9, respectively. A glycylcycline antibiotic, it has activity against a broad range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including tetracycline-resistant organisms. It is used for the intravenous treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by susceptible organisms. It has a role as an antibacterial drug. It is a member of tetracyclines and a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It is a conjugate base of a tigecycline(1+).
Tigecycline is a Tetracycline-class Antibacterial.
A tetracycline derivative that acts as a protein synthesis inhibitor. It is used as an antibacterial agent for the systemic treatment of complicated skin and intra-abdominal infections. It is also used for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Biological Data
  • Ascorbic acid and pyruvate stabilize tigecycline in saline solution. Tigecyline (1 mg/mL) was dissolved in saline solution with or without supplementation with various excipients and incubated in the light. Tigecycline concentrations were detected over time by HPLC and expressed as a relative percentage of that detected immediately following fresh dilution in saline ( = 100%). Tigecycline was dissolved in (A) saline with or without 0.6 mg/mL ascorbic acid, 6 mg/mL pyruvate, 50 mg/mL 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD), 0.3 U/mL Oxyrase with 20 mM sodium lactate, 6 mg/mL EDTA sodium, 5% (w/v) glucose, 5% (w/v) mannitol, 10% (v/v) ethanol, 10 mM sodium phosphate (Na-PO4) buffer pH 6.9, or 10 mM sodium bicarbonate (Na-HCO3) buffer pH 6.8; (B) saline containing 0–30 mg/mL ascorbic acid; or (C) saline containing 0–300 mg/mL pyruvate; (D) Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium (IMDM).

  • Tigecycline is stabilized in solution under novel formulation conditions for up to 7 days. Following dissolution in saline or a novel stabilizing formulation containing ascorbic acid (3 mg/mL) and pyruvate (60 mg/mL) in saline, adjusted to pH 7, tigecycline concentrations were detected by HPLC and expressed as a relative percentage of that detected following fresh dilution in saline ( = 100%). (A) Tigecycline (1 mg/mL) dissolved in saline or the novel formulation was incubated under light or dark conditions, demonstrating light sensitivity. (B) Increasing concentrations of tigecycline were dissolved in the novel formulation and incubated in the dark. Tigecycline stability in solution was reduced at concentrations greater than 1 mg/mL. In all panels, data indicate the mean ± standard deviation of 3 independent experiments.[1]. Jitkova Y, et al. A novel formulation of tigecycline has enhanced stability and sustained antibacterial and antileukemic activity. PLoS One. 2014 May 28;9(5):e95281.
  • The novel ascorbic acid- and pyruvate-containing formulation displays efficacy in AML cells grown in vivo. (A) Mice were administered 50/kg tigecycline or 50 mg/kg novel tigecycline formulation by intraperitoneal injection and plasma was collected at increasing times after treatment. Plasma tigecycline concentration was determined using HPLC. The peak plasma concentration (C max), the terminal half-life (t 1/2), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (Vz) were evaluated using WinNonlin 6.2.1. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation of a representative experiment with 3 mice per group. Human leukemia OCI-AML2 cells were injected subcutaneously into the flank of NOD/SCID mice. Eleven days after injection, once tumors were palpable, mice were treated with 50 mg/kg of tigecycline, novel formulation of tigecycline, or vehicle controls (saline or formulation) by intraperitoneal injection twice a day for 11 days (n = 9 per group). Tigecycline in each formulation was prepared fresh twice a day. (B) Tumor volume was monitored over time. Eleven days after injection, mice were sacrificed and tumors excised. (C) Tumor weight was measured. ** indicates p<0.01 and * indicates p<0.05 as determined by Tukey's post-test and one-way ANOVA analysis. Lines represent median. (D) Total proteins were extracted and analyzed by immunoblotting for Cox-1, Cox-2 and Cox-4 expression. PVDF membrane was stained with 0.1% Amido Black.[1]. Jitkova Y, et al.
