Product Description

Minocycline HCl (NSC 141993; Periocline; Klinomycin; Minocin; Solodyn; Minocin), the hydrochloride salt of minocycline, is a potent, oral and broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic used to treat a number of bacterial infections such as pneumonia. It is generally less preferred than the tetracycline doxycycline. It is also used for the treatment of acne and rheumatoid arthritis. It acts by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibiting protein synthesis.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
OVCAR-3, SKOV-3, and A2780 pearl cotton lines are inhibited in terms of proliferation and clonogenic activity by minocycline hydrochloride (0-100 μM, 24-72 hours) [3]. Hydrochloride of minocycline (0-100 μM, 24-48 hours). In an oscilloscope, minocycline hydrochloride (0-100 μM, 72 h)) causes a cell cycle [3]. In addition to inhibiting both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent cell death, direct neural protection may also be linked to mitochondrial abnormalities and cytochrome c protection [2]. Examination of the proliferation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) cells induced by minocycline hydrochloride [3]
ln Vivo
In female nude mice, ovccrine hydrochloride (0–30 mg/kg) administered intravenously once daily for four weeks inhibits the growth of OVCAR-3 tumors [3]. In animal models of brain damage, minocycline hydrochloride (IP), a powerful medication, exhibits neuroprotective effects when administered intraperitoneally in high dosages [1]. METH-induced hyperlocomotion and behavioral sensitization in mice are markedly inhibited by minocycline hydrochloride (0–40 mg/kg, IP, once) [2]. In a model of temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion (TMCAO), minocycline hydrochloride (3 and 10 mg/kg IV once) effectively reduces infarct size [1]. The effects of minocycline hydrochloride (3–10 mg/kg IV once) on blood may be mitigated by potential-induced ventricular arrhythmias. This effect in humans at the standard 200 mg dose may be associated with mitochondrial KATP channels, PI3K/Akt signaling, and L-type levels (3 mg/kg) [1].
Cell Assay
Cell Proliferation Assay[3]
Cell Types: human ovarian cancer cell line (OVCAR-1α inhibition, and regulation of up-p53 protein and AKT levels/mTOR/p70S6K/ Inactivation of 4E-BP1 dye [6]. 3. SKOV-3 and A2780) and primary cells (HEK-293, HMEC, HUVEC, ATCC)
Tested Concentrations: 0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 24 , 48 or 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Inhibition of the proliferation of OVCAR-3, SKOV-3 and A2780 cells was concentration-dependent, with IC50 values of 62.0, 56.1 and 59.5 μM respectively. There was no effect on the viability of HEK-293 or HUVEC.

Western Blot Analysis[3]
Cell Types: OVCAR-3, SKOV-3 and A2780 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 0, 10, 50 and 100 μM
Incubation Duration: 72 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Cyclins A, B and E were expressed at low levels. caspase- increasing by 3 levels increased more than 3.0-fold at 100 μM. Minocycline-activated caspase-3 in turn leads to the cleavage of PARP-1. Caspase-3 increases the degradation product of PARP-1, p89.

Cell cycle analysis[3]
Cell Types: OVCAR-3, SKOV-3 and A2
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Female nude mice (6 weeks old, 9 mice per group, each mouse was injected with OVCAR-3 cells subcutaneously (sc) (sc) on the left side of the abdomen) [3]
Doses: 10 or 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Orally in drinking water Administration, starting on day 8 of cell inoculation, one time/day for 4 weeks.
Experimental Results: Inhibited OVCAR-3 tumor growth and diminished microvessel density in these female nude mice.

Animal/Disease Models: Male Balb/cAnNCrICrIj mice (8 weeks old, 23-30 g, methamphetamine (METH, 3 mg/kg) subcutaneously (sc) (sc) (sc) in a volume of 10 ml/kg) [2]
Doses: 0, 10 , 20 or 40 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection, once, 30 minutes before METH administration
Experimental Results: Significantly attenuated METH-induced hyperlocomotion and the development of behavioral sensitization in mice at 40 mg/kg. Did not exert any effect on the induction of METH-induced hyperthermia in mice. Significantly attenuated the reduction of DA and DOPAC in the striatum. Significantly attenuated the reduction of DAT-immunoreactivity in the mouse striatum. Significantly attenuated the increase in MAC1-immunoreactivity in the striatum after the administration of METH.

Animal/Disease Models: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (270-330 g, TMCAO model)[1]
Doses: 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg
Route of Administration: IV, once, 4, 5, or 6 hours post TMCAO
Experimental Results: Reduced infarct size by 42% while 10 mg/kg reduced infarct size by 56% at doses of 3 mg/kg; significantly reduced infarct size at 5 hours by 40% at doses of 10 mg/kg and the 3 mg/kg dose significantly reduced infarct size by 34%. With a 6 hour time window there was a non-significant trend in infarct reduction.

Animal/Disease Models: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (270-330 g)[1]
Doses: 3, 10, or 20 mg/kg
Route of Administration: IV, once
Experimental Results: Peak concentrations of serum levels of minocycline averaged 3.6, 13.0 and 28.8 mg/L with 3, 10 and 20 mg/kg doses respectively. The serum levels of minocycline at a 3 mg/kg dose (3.6 mg/L) were similar to that reported in humans after a standard 200 mg dose. Did not significantly affect hemodynamic and physiological variables.

  • 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)
