Product Description

Amifostine trihydrate (WR2721), a phosphorylated aminosulfhydryl compound, is the first approved radioprotective drug, it is used to decrease the risk of kidney problems caused by treatment with cisplatin. After dephosphorylation of amifostine by alkaline phosphatase to an active free sulfhydryl (thiol) metabolite, the thiol metabolite binds to and detoxifies cytotoxic platinum-containing metabolites of cisplatin and scavenges free radicals induced by cisplatin and ionizing radiation.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
hypoxia-inducible factor-α1 (HIF-α1); p53
ln Vitro
Amifostine (0.78125-100 μM, 24 h) trihydrate dramatically lowers H9c2 cell apoptosis at a concentration of 100 μM and decreases tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-induced cell damage in a dose-dependent manner [5].
ln Vivo
Male C57BL/6 mice that have myocardial I/R injury are protected against it by amifostine (intravenous injection, 400 mg/kg, 4 h) trihydrate [5].
Enzyme Assay
We used TBHP, a more stable chemical than H2O2, to induce oxidative stress. For measurement of ROS of the H9c2 cells, cells were incubated with 10 μmol/L ROS sensitive dye 2′,7′-dichloruoresceindiacetate (DCFH-DA) at 37°C for 20 min. ROS was detected by a flow cytometry sorter (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and quantified by BD FACS software. The above experiments were repeated three times. ΔΨm was measured using JC-1 staining; cells were seeded into Petri dishes. After treatment, the dishes were incubated in JC-1 staining solution (5 mg/ml) at 37°C for 20 min. Subsequently the staining cells were washed twice with JC-1 staining buffer; images were taken by a confocal laser scanning microscopy.[5]
Cell Assay
H9c2 cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a concentration of 5000 cells per well. The cells were pretreated with amifostine (0.78125, 1.5625, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μM) for 30 min before being exposure to tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) for 12 h. The number of viable cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Briefly, MTT dye solution was added to each well and incubated for 4 h. The number of viable cells was measured by evaluating Absorbance at 490 nm. The MTT assay was repeated three times for consistency.[5]
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Male C57BL/6 mice with myocardial I/R injury [5]
Doses: 400 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; 4 hrs (hours))
Experimental Results: Attenuated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and diminished I/R-induced ROS production. Dramatically diminished the expression of cleaved caspase 3 and Bax, while enhancing the expression of SOD1, SOD2 and Bcl2. SOD activity was Dramatically increased and MDA levels were diminished.

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.

  • 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
