Product Description
Cystemustine is a DNA inhibitor (chloroethylnitrosourea, CENU). Cystemustine induces DNA cross-linking, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. It also exerts cytotoxic effects by interfering with the cell cycle, inducing cell redifferentiation, and altering phospholipid metabolism. Cystemustine exhibits high antitumor activity and a relatively short plasma half-life in mice. It is used in research on various malignant tumors, including melanoma, glioma, renal cell carcinoma, head and neck cancer, and colorectal cancer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Cysteine alone (100, 200 μM, 2 h) did not cause significant DNA damage, but when used in combination with O6-benzyl-N2-acetylguanosine (BNAG), it significantly increased DNA damage in M3Dau cells[3]. Cysteine (50 μM, 4 h) caused cytotoxicity in M4Beu cells, but its effect was enhanced when used in combination with 1 GgBZ (an O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase inhibitor)[6].
ln Vivo
Cymustine (35 mg/kg, intravenous injection, single dose, lasting 55 days) exhibited significant diurnal toxicity variations, with the lowest toxicity level occurring 15–19 hours after the start of light exposure (HALO) and the highest toxicity level occurring 7 hours after the start of light exposure [2]. Cymustine (15 mg/kg, intravenous or direct injection into the tumor, days 1–19) induced significant changes in cell morphology, cell cycle, and melanin content in a mouse model of melanoma [4]. Cymustine (15 mg/kg, direct injection into the tumor, days 11–18) induced a novel phospholipid metabolism phenotype in melanoma tumors in a mouse model [5].
Cell Assay
RT-PCR[3]
Cell Types: M3Dau cells
Tested Concentrations: 100, 200 μM or in combination with BNAG (300 μM)
Incubation Duration: 2 hours or 4 hours
Experimental Results: When used alone, the amplification level of DNA fragments did not change significantly. When used in combination with BNAG, it caused 1.85-fold or 2.55-fold damage, respectively.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models:Active phase of circadian rhythm in male B6DZFI mice (9-10 weeks old) [2]
Doses: 35 mg/kg<
Route of Administration: Intravenous injection (iv), single dose, lasting 55 days
Experimental Results: Survival rates ranged from 3.8% at HALO to 87.5% and 88.2% at HALO 15 and 19, respectively. Weight loss ranged from -16.6% at HALO 15 to -27.3% at HALO 3.
Animal/Disease Models:A melanoma model was established in male C57BL6/6J mice for 6-8 weeks [4].
Doses: 15 mg/kg.
Route of Administration: Intravenous injection (iv) or direct injection into the tumor (it), administered on days 1, 5, and 9 after B16 cell inoculation, or on days 11, 14, and 19 after inoculation.
Experimental Results: Cell morphology changed, and melanin content increased. The number of cell divisions per microscopic field decreased significantly by 10-fold.
Animal/Disease Models:A melanoma model was established in male C57BL6/6J mice for 6–8 weeks [5].
Doses: 15 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Directly injected into the tumor on days 11, 14, and 18 after B16 cell inoculation (it).
Experimental Results: Induced a sustained redifferentiation pattern. During growth inhibition, Cho, GPC, and GPE were transiently elevated, while PC and PE were persistently elevated. During growth recovery, PC and PE were persistently overexpressed.

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (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.

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)
