Cremophor EL exhibited time- and concentration-dependent cytotoxicity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and HeLa epithelial cells. After 1-hour exposure, viability remained >80% at 0.01–0.1 mg/mL but dropped to <20% at 1 mg/mL. After 24 hours, IC50 values were 0.025 mg/mL for HUVECs and 0.035 mg/mL for HeLa cells. Cytotoxicity was attributed to plasma membrane disruption, observed via microscopy. [1]
Cremophor EL is a common excipient. Cremophor EL at 5 mg/mL raises the impedance for the first 10 hours, then lowers it. Epithelial cell death is observed after 20 hours of treatment. More so than RH40, cremophor EL reduces cell viability and enhances cell toxicity. At doses of 10 to 50 mg/mL of Cremophor EL, both epithelial viability and monolayer integrity are significantly compromised after a 24-hour treatment. Moreover, cell dissociation is improved with cremophor EL[1]. |

| Cell Assay |
Cytotoxicity was assessed using the MTT assay. Cells were seeded in 96-well plates (5,000 cells/well) and incubated overnight. Cremophor EL was dissolved in culture medium and serially diluted. Cells were exposed for 1, 4, or 24 hours. After treatment, MTT reagent was added and incubated for 4 hours. Formazan crystals were dissolved in DMSO, and absorbance was measured at 570 nm. Viability was normalized to untreated controls. [1]
Live-cell imaging tracked morphological changes during exposure. Cells were treated with 0.05–0.5 mg/mL Cremophor EL and imaged every 5 minutes for 4 hours using phase-contrast microscopy. Membrane blebbing and lysis were documented. [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Cremophor EL induces acute cytotoxicity by directly damaging the cell membrane, manifested as a rapid release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). At a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL, LDH levels increased threefold within 15 minutes. The cytotoxicity was partially reversible: cells washed 1 hour after exposure recovered 60-70% of their viability after 24 hours. It did not activate apoptosis or necrosis pathways. [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.
