Product Description

Berubicin HCl (RTA-774; WP-769), an anthracycline derivative, is a novel and potent DNA intercalator and antineoplastic agent. Acting by intercalating into DNA and interrupting the activity of topoisomerase II, leading to the inhibition of DNA replication and repair, and RNA and protein synthesis. Unlike other anthracycline derivatives, Berubicin is able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
K562 cell activity is inhibited by WP 769 hydrochloride, with an IC50 value of 0.18 mg/mL[1]. A 24-hour exposure to WP 769 Hydrochloride (0-100 µM) inhibits the absorption of the thymic circuit guideline by KBM-5 cells [2]. In KBM-5 cells, WP 769 hydrochloride (1 µM; 15 min) activates NF-κB via the p50 and p65 NF-κB subunits [2]. In a dose-dependent manner, WP 769 Hydrochloride (0-100 µM; 72 h) inhibits the Jurkat and RIP buffer cell viability experiment [2].

Additional Infomation
RTA 744 is a novel anthracycline derivative that crosses the blood-brain barrier and shows significant potential for the treatment of primary and metastatic brain cancers. Anthracyclines are one of the most broadly used and effective classes of cancer therapies; however, they are not used to treat brain cancers because current therapies do not cross the blood-brain barrier.
Berubicin Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of the anthracycline derivative berubicin with potential antineoplastic activity. Berubicin intercalates into DNA and interrupts topoisomerase II activity, resulting in the inhibition of DNA replication and repair, and RNA and protein synthesis. Unlike other anthracycline derivatives, this agent crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
Drug Indication
Investigated for use/treatment in brain cancer.
Mechanism of Action
RTA 744 is a substance being studied in the treatment of adult brain tumors. RTA 744 crosses the blood-brain barrier and blocks an enzyme needed for cancer growth. RTA 744 is a type of topoisomerase inhibitor. Also called topoisomerase II inhibitor RTA 744.

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
