Product Description

Docetaxel Trihydrate (formerly RP-56976; NSC-628503; trade name Taxotere), the trihydrated form of docetaxel which is a paclitaxel analog, is a tubulin/mitotic inhibitor with a broad spectrum of antineoplastic activities. It has been approved for use in the treatment of many types of cancers.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Cell viability was impacted in a dose-dependent manner by both single and combined treatments with docetaxel trihydrate (RP-56976 trihydrate) and glufosfamide (GLU). In PC-3 and LNCaP cells, the IC50 of GLU is 70±4 μM and 86.8±8 μM, respectively. Conversely, the IC50 of docetaxel alone was 1.46±0.2 nM and 3.08±0.4 nM in PC-3 and LNCaP cells, respectively. When GLU and Docetaxel were co-treated, the IC50 values in PC-3 and LNCaP cells were lowered to 2.7±0.1 nM and 0.75±0.3 nM, respectively [1]. NCI-H460's half-life against cetaxel was 30 nM after 72 hours and 116 nM at 24 hours. On NCI-60 cell plates, the typical IC50 for docetaxel is 14–34 nM, according to data from the DTP data search [2].
ln Vivo
The intestinal cell apoptosis induced by Docetaxel Trihydrate (RP-56976 Trihydrate) in female mice was considerably higher in the 14-hour light exposure (HALO) group compared to the 2-HALO group. After receiving docetaxel, the 2-HALO group's Bax expression increased dramatically, but not in the 14-HALO group. Conversely, docetaxel markedly elevated the expression of cleaved Caspase-3 in the 14-HALO group, but not in the 2-HALO group. Furthermore, docetaxel dramatically decreased the expression of survivin protein in the 14-HALO group but not in the 2-HALO group. When compared to the 2-HALO group treated with the same medication, the survivin expression level in the 14-HALO group treated with docetaxel was considerably lower [3]. Whereas docetaxel (DOX) was given intravenously at a dose of 7 mg/kg, piperine (PIP) was given as an intravenous bolus at 3.5 mg/kg, as well as 35 mg/kg and 3.5 mg/kg orally. Rat Sprague-Daley type. Sprague-Dawley rats were coadministered PIP at 35 mg/kg orally and docetaxel at 7 mg/kg by intravenous bolus. Their in vivo exposure is synergistically increased when PIP and docetaxel are used together [4].
Animal Protocol
Dissolved in 50 mg/mL stock solution in ethanol by adding an equal volume of polysorbate 80 and diluting with 5% dextrose in water to the final volume; 33 mg/kg; i.v. injection

*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
