Product Description

Cytarabine hydrochloride (MK-8242; SCH-900242; AC-1075; CHX-3311; Arabitin), the hydrochloride salt of cytarabine, is a pyrimidine nucleoside analog and antimetabolic anticancer agent with a modified sugar moiety. It inhibits the synthesis of DNA.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
DNA synthesis ( IC50 = 16 nM )
ln Vitro
Cytarabine undergoes phosphorylation into a triphosphate form (Ara-CTP) through the action of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), which inhibits the function of DNA and RNA polymerases and competes with dCTP for incorporation into DNA. With an IC50 of 16 nM, cytarabine exhibits greater growth inhibitory activity against wild-type CCRF-CEM cells than it does against other acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells[1]. It appears that cytarabine causes apoptosis in rat sympathetic neurons at 10 μM; the highest toxicity is at 100 μM, which kills over 80% of the neurons in 84 hours through the activation of caspase-3 and the release of mitochondrial cytochrome-c. The toxicity can be delayed by bax deletion and attenuated by p53 knockdown[2].
ln Vivo
Cytarabine (250 mg/kg) also results in placental growth retardation and increases the apoptosis of placental trophoblastic cells in the placental labyrinth zone of pregnant Slc:Wistar rats. This process begins three hours after the treatment, peaks at six hours, and returns to control levels at forty-eight hours. Notably, p53 protein and p53 transcriptional target genes, including p21, cyclin G1, fas, and caspase-3 activity, are significantly increased[3]. The use of higher dosages of Cytarabine does not appear to contribute to its antileukaemic effectiveness in humans. Cytarabine is highly effective against acute leukaemias, which cause the chCytarabineteristic G1/S blockage and synchronization, and increases the survival time for leukaemic Brown Norway rats in a weak dose-related fashion[4].
Animal Protocol
Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of 250 mg/kg Cytarabine is administered to pregnant rats on Day 13 of gestation (GD13). Congenital defects and growth retardation are frequently found in perinatal fetuses under the circumstances of this experiment, but the incidence of fetal death is not noticeably elevated. Following treatment, six dams are killed by heart puncture under ether anesthesia at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 48 hours. The placentas are then collected. In GD13, six pregnant rats serve as controls. They receive an intraperitoneal injection of the same volume of PBS and are killed concurrently with the groups treated with cytarabine. Three of the six dams collected at each time point are utilized for histopathological examinations, and the remaining three are used for RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) analysis.

*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
