Product Description

Pirarubicin hydrochloride (THP), an analogue of anthracycline, is an anti-neoplastic doxorubicin which acts as a topoisomerase II inhibitor, and is used for treatment of various cancers, in particular, solid tumors. It inhibits DNA replication by intercalating into DNA, interacting with Topo II (topoisomerase II). M5076 cells quickly absorb pirarubicin, and its intracellular concentration surpasses that of doxorubicin by a factor of 2.5. When it comes to the 50% concentration in vitro that inhibits cell growth, pirarubicin works better than doxorubicin. In MG-63 cells, pirarubicin increases Bax expression while suppressing the expression of PCNA, cyclin D1, cyclin E, and Bcl-2.

Targets
Topoisomerase II
ln Vitro

Pirarubicin is quickly absorbed by M5076 cells, and is more than 2.5 times as concentrated intracellularly as doxorubicin. The 50% cell growth-inhibitory concentration in vitro is better achieved by pirarubicin than by doxorubicin. G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in MG-63 cells is brought on by pirarubicin. In MG-63 cells, parorubicin increases the expression of Bax while suppressing the expression of Bcl-2, PCNA, cyclin D1, and cyclin E. In the aorta with endothelium, pirarubicin significantly relaxes contractions brought on by noradrenaline (0.1 μM), but not in the aorta without endothelium. Methylene blue (5 μM), hydroquinone (100 μM), phenidone (50 μM), hemoglobin (1 μM), and p-bromophenacyl bromide (50 μM) all inhibit pirarubicin-induced relaxation, but indomethacin (25 μM) does not. Between two and five times as potent as Adriamycin in SKUT1B, HEC1A, and BG1 cell lines is pyrarubicin. The G2 block dose-response pattern of pirarubicin is also reversed, meaning that at high doses, the cell cycle kinetics would resemble those of untreated controls.

ln Vivo
Pirarubicin decreases the tumor weight in M5076 solid tumor-bearing mice to 60% of the control level, while doxorubicin has no effect. When injected via the hepatic intra-arterial (h.i.a.) route, both pirarubicin and epirubicin are effective against V x 2 tumors; however, pirarubicin exhibits stronger activity than epirubicin.
Cell Assay
Cell survival analysis is done using MTS. In short, 96-well plates are used to plate cells in triplicate, with 2 × 103 cells per well, and the cells are then cultured in growth medium. Following that, cells are exposed to pirarubicin for 24 hours at three different concentrations: 2.5 μg/mL, 5 μg/mL, and 10 μg/mL. Once added, the MTS reagent (5 mg/mL) is incubated for 4 hours at 37°C. A microplate reader is used to measure the absorbance at 490 nm[3].
Animal Protocol
A single injection into the caudal vein of 18 mg/kg pirarubicin creates an acute cardiac toxicity model. Thirty-six rats are randomized equally into six groups: low-dose rutin (25 mg/kg), middle-dose rutin (50 mg/kg), high-dose rutin (100 mg/kg), cardiac injury (THP) model, and dexrazoxane (180 mg/kg). The rats in the rutin-treated group receive a single injection of 18 mg/kg of pirarubicin via the caudal vein, as well as varying doses of rutin and CMC-Na by gavage for seven days. For six days, rats in the dexrazoxane-treated group are gavaged with sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na). On day 7, rats receive an intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg dexrazoxane and a caudal vein injection of 18 mg/kg pirarubicin. Rats in the THP model group are given CMC-Na by gavage for seven days, and on day seven, they are given an injection of pirarubicin (18 mg/kg) into the caudal vein. The normal control group of rats is given CMC-Na by gavage for seven days, and on day seven, they receive an injection of saline into their caudal vein[4].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~20.8 mg/mL (~31.4 mM)
H2O: < 0.1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.13 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 +5% Tween-80 + 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 20.8 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.

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

*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.

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
