General description

A 10 mM (5 mg/862 µL) sterile-filtered solution of Doxorubicin, HCl in H₂O.
An anti-tumor antibiotic and a highly effective myotoxin that inhibits topoisomerase II (IC50 = 100 nM). Binds to nucleic acids, presumably by specific intercalation into the DNA double helix, inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. Cytotoxicity seems to be due to its ability to intercalate with DNA, interact with plasma membranes, and take part in oxidation-reduction reactions. Induces apoptosis in rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines.

Packaging

Packaged under inert gas

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Physical form

A 10 mM (5 mg/862 µL) sterile-filtered solution of Doxorubicin, HCl (Cat. No. 324380) in H₂O.

Reconstitution
