Epirubicin (4'-Epidoxorubicin) is an anthracycline antibiotic that acts as a Topoisomerase II inhibitor. It exerts its antitumor effects by intercalating into DNA base pairs, inhibiting DNA replication and transcription, and inducing DNA strand breaks/apoptosis. Epirubicin is widely used in the treatment of breast, gastric, lung, and ovarian cancers.

Product Introduction

Bioactivity
Description
Epirubicin (4'-Epidoxorubicin) is an anthracycline antibiotic that acts as a Topoisomerase II inhibitor. It exerts its antitumor effects by intercalating into DNA base pairs, inhibiting DNA replication and transcription, and inducing DNA strand breaks/apoptosis. Epirubicin is widely used in the treatment of breast, gastric, lung, and ovarian cancers.
Targets&IC50
HepG2 cells:1.6 μg/mL
In vitro
In human hepatoma G2 cells, Epirubicin exhibits cytotoxicity (24 h IC50=1.6 μg/mL), induces apoptosis, and upregulates catalase (+50%), GSH-Px (+110%), and SOD (+135–172%) activities [3]. It inhibits DNA/RNA/protein synthesis by complexing with DNA, primarily killing S-phase cells, while high concentrations affect G1/M/G2 phases and membrane integrity [1].
In vivo
In a human breast carcinoma R-27 xenograft model, systemic administration of Epirubicin at a dose of 3.5 mg/kg resulted in a 74.4% reduction in tumor mass. The compound shows broad clinical activity across various malignancies, including malignant lymphomas, lung cancer, and gastrointestinal tumors [4][5].

In Vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution)

Please enter your animal experiment information in the following box and click Calculate to obtain the stock solution preparation method and in vivo formula preparation method:
TargetMol | Animal experiments For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, TargetMol | Animal experiments and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of TargetMol | reagent 10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH2O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.
Stock Solution Preparation:

Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSOTargetMol | reagent to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.

Preparation of the In Vivo Formulation:

1) Add 100 μL of the DMSOTargetMol | reagent stock solution to 400 μL PEG300TargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.

2) Add 50 μL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.

3) Add 450 μL Saline,PBS or ddH2OTargetMol | reagent and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.

This example is provided solely to demonstrate the use of the In Vivo Formulation Calculator and does not constitute a recommended formulation for any specific compound. Please select an appropriate dissolution and formulation strategy based on your experimental model and route of administration.
All co-solvents required for this protocol, includingDMSO, PEG300/PEG400, Tween 80, SBE-β-CD, and Corn oil, are available for purchase on the TargetMol website.
