Product Description
Mitotane (2,4'-DDD) is an enantiomer of DDD and an analogue of DDT. It has anti-cancer effect and may be utilized to study adrenocortical cancer. The adrenocortical effects of Mitotane are due, at least in part, to lipotoxicity through accumulation of intracellular free cholesterol (FC). Mitotane produces direct pituitary effects on corticotroph cells. Mitotane can induce CYP3A4 gene expression through steroid and exogenous receptor (SXR) activation, and there is a bioactive molecule-active molecule interaction.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The growth of H295R cells is considerably inhibited by mitotane (1 nM-100 μM; 6 days) [1]. In TαT1 cells, mitotane (10-100 μM; 6 or 48 hours) dramatically enhances caspase 3/7 activity in the range of 60 μM to 80 μM, while decreasing TαT1 cell viability in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Because caspase 3/7 activity was considerably raised from 40 μM to 100 μM by TSH and TSH β-subunit mRNA expression. In a dose-dependent manner, mitotane (1-30 μM; 24 hours; HepG2) stimulates the transcription of the CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 genes [3]. In HepaRG, mitotane (20 and 40 μM; 6 h) dramatically decreased the amount of neutral lipid droplets per cell and also considerably decreased triglycerol-labeled lipid droplets, which in turn decreased PLIN1 and PLIN3 expression levels [4].
ln Vivo
Early on after H295R cell seeding, mitotane (440 mg/kg; ip or po, 5 days per week for 7 weeks) dramatically decreases xenograft volume [1].

*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
