Product Description
Idarubicin HCl (NSC-256439; IMI 30; NSC 256439; 4-DMDR; IDA; 4-Demethoxydaunomycin; Idamycin), the hydrochloride salt form of Idarubicin, is a potent anthracycline antibiotic and a DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) inhibitor approved for use as an anticancer drug. In a cell-free assay, it inhibits topo II in MCF-7 cells with an IC50 of 3.3 ng/mL. Idarubicin is an analogue of daunorubicin, an antineoplastic anthracycline antibiotic, that is semisynthetic and 4-demethoxy. Idarubicin inhibits DNA replication, RNA transcription, and protein synthesis by intercalating into DNA and interfering with topoisomerase II activity. Idarubicin is more effective at penetrating cell membranes than other anthracycline antibiotic compounds because of its high lipophilicity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Topo II (MCF-7 cells) ( IC50 = 3.3 ng/mL ); Multicellular spheroids ( IC50 = 7.9 ng/mL )
ln Vitro
Idarubicin possesses potent anticancer action against multicellular spheroids that is similar to the effects on monolayer cells' ability to inhibit proliferation.[1] CYP450 2D6 is inhibited by idarubicin.[2] Compared to doxorubicin and epirubicin, it is approximately 57.5-fold and 25-fold more active, respectively. Multidrug resistance mediated by P-glycoprotein can be overcome by idarubicin.[3] Idarubicin prevents the production of PMN superoxide radicals.[4] Idarubicin could be combined with monoclonal antibodies that are active against Thy-1, anti-Ly-2.1, or anti-L3T4 while maintaining the protein's solubility.[5] At an IC50 of 12 nM, idarubicin suppresses the growth of NALM-6 cells.[6]
ln Vivo
Idarubicin reduction is reliant on ketone reductases and proceeds more stereoselectively than that of most ketones, almost exclusively producing the (13S)-epimer. Because Idarubicin has asymmetric centers close to its carbonyl group, chiral induction may be the cause of the reduction's high stereospecificity.[7]
Enzyme Assay
Completed with isolated human CYP450 proteins for each isoform, the metabolism of idarubicin by the CYP450 isoenzymes 3A4, 2D6, 2C8, 2C9, and 1A2 is assessed. This evaluation is conducted using the high throughput P450 inhibition testing method. Each drug's following characteristics are intended to be examined by the metabolism experiments: (1) if Idarubicin is a substrate of the CYP450 3A4, 2C8, 2C9, 1A2 or 2D6 isoenzymes; (2) if the metabolism of each isoenzyme is impacted by known inhibitors; (3) if Idarubicin is an inhibitor of CYP450 isoenzymes; and (4) if the CYP450 metabolism of Idarubicin is inhibited by caspofungin or itraconazole. The known substrates used as controls to verify the corresponding isoenzyme activity and assess the impact of idarubicin on the isoenzyme activity are dibenzylfluorescein (DBF) (CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C9), 3-cyano-7-ethoxycoumarin (Cyp1A2), and 7-methoxy-4-(aminomethyl)-coumarin (MAMC) (CYP2D6). In addition, the control CYP450 inhibitors for the 3A4, 2C8, 2C9, 1A2, or 2D6 isoenzymes are quercetin, quinidine, furafylline, ketoconazole, or suflaphenazole, in that order. For the duration of the manufacturer's recommended incubation period of 20 to 60 minutes at 37°C, the substrate, inhibitor, and idarubicin are added to each protein sample. When needed, samples are examined using a fluorescence plate reader after reactions are halted with an organic solvent solution. Control samples are prepared for qualitative comparisons for each experiment, containing a known quantity of substrate and synthesized metabolite, without the isoenzyme. Every experiment is run in triplicate.
Cell Assay
The inhibition of [3H]thymidine uptake is used to compare the anti-proliferative activity of the conjugate Idarubicin to that of the free drug. In summary, 100 μL/well of a flat-bottomed microtitre plate containing 1.5 × 106/mL of NALM-6 cells is added, and the plate is then incubated for one hour at 37ºC. Filtered free idarubicin and idarubicin-mAb conjugates are diluted in sterile PBS and added to the wells in duplicate at different concentrations (100 μL/well); the plates are then incubated for 24 hours at 37ºC with 7% CO2. After 4 hours of incubation, each well is filled with 50 μL medium containing 1 μCi [3H]thymidine, and the plates are left to incubate for an additional 4 hours. Cells are collected using glass fiber filter paper, dried, and counted using a scintillation counter. Using the same methodology, studies of specificity are carried out in which the cytotoxicity of insignificant Idarubicin-JGT conjugates is contrasted with the killing capacity of Idarubicin-anti-CD19 conjugates against CD19 + cells. For thirty rain on ice, NALM-6 cells (1.5 x 106/mL, 300 μL tube) are incubated with different concentrations of Idarubicin-anti-CD 19 or Idarubicin-JGT conjugates. After three cycles of ice-cold RPMI-1640 medium (4 mL/cycle), the cells are reconstituted in new medium and put into 96-well plates (100 μL/well). There are two wells plated out of each duplicate tube, for a total of four wells per drug concentration. Two days later, [3H]thymidine is pulsed into the cells, and they are harvested.

  • 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)
