Product Description

Bisantrene (CL 216942; NSC 337766) is potent inhibitor of topoisomerase II and DNA intercalators. It could be employed as model compounds to investigate multiple drug resistance (MDR1) mediated by P-glycoprotein. You could use bisantrene as a Rac1 inhibitor. DNA single-strand breaks, DNA-protein crosslinking, and the inhibition of DNA replication are all caused by bisantrene intercalating with DNA and altering its configuration. In terms of activity, this agent is comparable to doxorubicin; however, it does not show cardiotoxicity.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Topoisomerase II
ln Vitro
At oligonucleotide-oligonucleotide junctions, bisantrene stimulates DNase I cleavage, whereas at alternating purine-nucleotide junctions, it marginally diminishes cleavage activity [1]. Two nucleotides, [3H] uracil and [3H] thoracic, which can be imported into RNA and DNA, respectively, make up bisantrene [2].
ln Vivo
Bisantrene is an antineoplastic agent with activity against a variety of experimental tumors, including P388 white, L1210 white, Lieberman plasmacytoma, B16 melanoma, tumor 26, and Ridgway sarcoblastoma [3]. Bisantrene ranges from 1.56 to 150. Effective within a dose range of mg/kg, depending on the frequency, method and timing of treatment and the tumor model utilized [3]. Bisantrene (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg; i.p.; once) ablate macrophages. Bisantrene (10-150 mg/kg; i.v.; once) induces a profound leukopenia in Neo mice. Anti-tumor effects were shown in mice injected with P815 tumor cells [3]. It is the target of Bisantrene toxicity [4].
Enzyme Assay
In ETN buffer (1 mM EDTA, 10 mM Tris, pH 7.0, with NaCl to obtain the desired ionic strength), measurements are performed at 25°C. Spectrophotometric or fluorometric methods are used to observe binding in the ligand absorption or emission region, respectively, following the addition of scalar quantities of DNA to a newly made drug solution. The range of bound drug fractions is 0.15-0.85 in order to prevent significant systematic errors that could arise from experimental errors in extinction coefficients or fluorescence quantum yield. Data are assessed. A Perkin-Elmer Lambda 5 apparatus and an MPF66 fluorometer, both of which have a Haake F3-C thermostat, are used for spectroscopic measurements[1].

*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:

  • 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)
