General description
Doxorubicin also leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which further damage DNA, proteins, and membranes. It exerts cytotoxic, antitumor, anticancer, and antineoplastic activity and finds application in cancer, metabolomics, cell biology, and biochemical research.
Application
- in cell viability assays
- MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay
- as a drug in polymeric PLGA-based microparticulate drug delivery
- to develop doxorubicin-resistant HepG2 cells (HepG2-DR) and K562 cells (K562-DR)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Features and Benefits
- High-quality antibiotic suitable for multiple research applications
- Ideal for Cell Biology, Metabolomics, and Biochemical research.

What is the excitation and emission wavelength for Product D1515, Doxorubicin hydrochloride?
Doxorubicin has excitation maximum at 470 nm and an emission maximum at 585 nm in ethanol.
What is the difference between Doxorubicin hydrochloride Products D1515 and D1317?
Product No. D1317, Doxorubicin hydrochloride solution has been discontinued and is no longer available. We now offer Product No. D1515 which is a powder.
How can I store a solution of Product D1515, Doxorubicin hydrochloride?
Aqueous solutions are unchanged after one month at 5 °C but unstable at higher temperatures or at either acid or alkaline pH. Several studies cite that stability is related to pH, exposure to light and the medium used for storage. Doxorubicin hydrochloride is subject to light degradation at <0.5 mg/mL, with considerable loss of bioactivity. If stored at 25 °C in the dark in 5% glucose, pH 4.7 (or 3.3% glucose + 0.3% sodium chloride, pH 4.4), solutions were stable (5% or less change) for at least 4 weeks.
What can be used to make a solution of Product D1515, Doxorubicin hydrochloride?
The solubility of doxorubicin is tested in water (50 mg/mL), yielding a clear orange to red solution.
How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?
