Epirubicin HCl (formerly 4'-epidoxorubicin; epiADR; epidoxorubicin; IMI 28; IMI-28; Ellence; Pharmorubicin PFS), the hydrochloride salt of the 4'-epi-isomer of the anthracycline antineoplastic antibiotic doxorubicin, is a new anthracycline analog and a semisynthetic L-arabino derivative of doxorubicin approved as an anticancer medication. Doxorubicin is a powerful anticancer drug, but its cumulative dose-dependent cardiotoxicity limits its application. Compared to doxorubicin, epirubicin HCl has a better therapeutic index and, at equivalent doses, is less toxic to the heart and blood vessels. Antineoplastic agent epirubicin HCl works by preventing Topoisomerase from doing its job. By intercalating into DNA and interacting with topoisomerase II, epirubicin prevents RNA and protein synthesis as well as DNA replication and repair. In addition, this agent interacts with the lipids in cell membranes to produce toxic free-radical intermediates and lipid peroxidation.

Cell Assay |
A 96-well plate is plated with 500 monolayer Hep G2 cells per well. The following day, epirubicin is added to the medium and the cells are treated. 15% volume of MTT dye solution is added at the conclusion of the incubation times. An equal volume of solubilization/stop solution (dimethylsulfoxide) is added to each well for an additional hour of incubation at 37°C after the first hour of incubation. At 570 nm, the reaction solution's absorbance is measured.

*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.
Calculation results
Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
