Hexadimethrine bromide suppresses human mesenchymal stem cell growth during lentiviral transduction. Hexadimethonium bromide is considered harmless at low doses, but has been observed to negatively effect cell proliferation in specific cell types at concentrations greater than 10 µg/mL. When seen under a microscope, trypsin-treated cells exposed to hexamethylene bromide were substantially larger in size [1].
- Hexadimethrine bromide (also known as Polybrene) exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory activity against human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) proliferation. At concentrations of 0.5, 1, and 2 μg/mL, the cell proliferation rate was reduced by 15%, 32%, and 58%, respectively, compared to the control group. It did not induce significant apoptosis of hMSCs even at 2 μg/mL [1] - The compound enhanced the efficiency of liposome-mediated gene transfer in multiple cell lines (NIH3T3, HeLa, CHO). At 8 μg/mL, it increased the transfection efficiency by 2–5 folds compared to lipofection alone, without significant cytotoxicity [2] |

| Cell Assay |
- hMSC proliferation inhibition assay: hMSCs were seeded in 96-well plates at 5×10³ cells/well and incubated overnight. Hexadimethrine bromide was added at concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 μg/mL, and cells were cultured for 72 hours. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining [1]
- Lipofection efficiency assay: Target cells (NIH3T3, HeLa, CHO) were seeded in 24-well plates at 2×10⁴ cells/well. Liposome-DNA complexes were prepared and mixed with Hexadimethrine bromide (2–16 μg/mL). The mixture was added to cells and incubated for 48 hours. Transfection efficiency was evaluated by measuring the activity of the reporter gene (luciferase) [2] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Hexamethylammonium bromide exhibits low cytotoxicity to human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), with cell viability remaining above 90% even at concentrations as high as 2 μg/mL [1]. At the optimal gene transfer concentration (8 μg/mL), hexamethylammonium bromide did not induce significant cell death in NIH3T3, HeLa, or CHO cells [2].

Hexadimethrine bromide is a polymer. It is a synthetic polymer that agglutinates red blood cells. It is used as a heparin antagonist. See also: Hexadimethrine bromide (note moved to). - Hexadimethrine bromide is a cationic polymer commonly used as an adjuvant for gene transfer [1][2] - Its mechanism of enhancing gene transfer may involve neutralizing the negative charge on cell membranes and liposomes, thereby promoting their binding and internalization [2] - Its inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) is specific to mesenchymal stem cells and does not induce apoptosis [1]

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (Infinity mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 5.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (Infinity mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 5.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. View More

*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.
