Product Description
Merbarone (NSC 336628) is an orally bioactive topoisomerase II inhibitor. The primary role of Merbarone is to block topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage without stabilizing the topo II-DNA covalent complex. Merbarone has anti-tumor properties.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Merbarone (1-100 μM) has an IC50 of 10 μM and suppresses the growth of L1210 cells in a concentration-dependent manner [3]. Human topoisomerase IIα-catalyzed DNA relaxing is inhibited by merbarone (10-200 μM; 10 minutes) with an IC50 of around 40 μM [1]. Using an IC50 of around 50 μM, merbarone (25-200 μM; 6 min) inhibits DNA breakage mediated by tyrosine isomerase II [1]. Global inhibition of topoisomerase II-mediated DNA cleavage is achieved by merbarone (100 μM; 6 min) [1]. The binding of topoisomerase II to DNA is not affected by merbarone (100 μM; 6 min) [1]. Topoisomerase II-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis is not inhibited by merbarone (200 μM; 4–16 min) [1].
ln Vivo
In P388 mouse leukemia, merbarone (50 mg/kg; daily intraperitoneal injection for 5 days) increases longevity (ILS) by 101% [2]. Mice treated orally with merbarone (124 mg/kg) for nine days showed antitumor activity [2].

Additional Infomation
Merbarone is a nonsedating derivative of thiobarbituric acid and a novel catalytic topoisomerase II inhibitor with antineoplastic activity. Merbarone interferes with DNA replication via binding directly to topoisomerase II at a domain that maybe shared by other topoisomerase II cleavage-enhancing agents, ex., etoposide. Its mechanism of action appears to be a novel one, since merbarone does not intercalate DNA nor stabilize DNA-topoisomerase II cleavable complexes.

Shipping Condition

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO : ~12.5 mg/mL (~47.48 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (9.50 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with sonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 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: 2.5 mg/mL (9.50 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

1 mM 3.7984 mL 18.9919 mL 37.9838 mL
5 mM 0.7597 mL 3.7984 mL 7.5968 mL
10 mM 0.3798 mL 1.8992 mL 3.7984 mL

*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
