Product Description

Vinblastine sulfate (also known as NSC49842; Vincaleukoblastine), a natural alkaloid extracted from the plant Vinca rosea Linn, is an approved anticancer drug and a potent mitotic inhibitor that inhibits microtubule formation and suppresses nAChR activity with IC50 of 8.9 μM in a cell-free assay, it is used to treat certain kinds of cancer. Vinblastine binds to tubulin and prevents the formation of microtubules, which disrupts the assembly of mitotic spindles and stops tumor cells in the M phase of the cell cycle.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
nAChR (IC50 = 8.9 μM)
ln Vitro
Vinblastine is a potent mitotic inhibitor (IC50 0.8 nM in HeLa cells), preventing cell death through apoptosis while not depolymerizing spindle microtubules[2]. Vinblastine causes p53 alteration and DNA fragmentation in NB4 cells. By inducing apoptosis and causing a Bax/Bcl-2 imbalance, vinblastine treatment has an antiproliferative effect. Treatment with vinblastine inhibits NFκB expression and decreases NFκB-DNA binding activity, all the while preserving JNK activation, which in turn triggers an apoptotic response via a caspase-dependent pathway[3]. Apoptosis inducing factor and cytochrome c release, cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose)-Polymerase, activation of caspase-9 and 3, and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential are all signs that vinblastine induces apoptosis[4].
ln Vivo
Vinblastine is a popular anticancer medication that has unfavorable side effects. One effective way to lessen these side effects might be to conjugate it with carrier molecules[5].
Cell Assay
Six-well treatment plates are prepared with 5 × 104 cells/mL in each well, suspended in 3 mL culture medium, and treated with vinblastine for three hours, followed by a growth period of twenty-one hours.

*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
