Biological Activity

Doxorubicin hydrochloride is a 14-hydroxylated version of Daunorubicin (Cat. No. 1467) that is naturally fluorescent. Doxorubicin is an antitumor antibiotic agent that inhibits DNA topoisomerase II. It is a DNA intercalator that inhibits nucleic acid synthesis and induces apoptosis. Doxorubicin reduces intracellular tau levels. Doxorubicin also promotes formation of free radicals for the disruption of membrane lipids and DNA strands. Doxorubicin fluorescence is quenched upon intercalation into the DNA; while binding to histones or partitioning into the phospholipid phase of PEG-phospholipid micelles or hydrophobic cores of polymeric micelles, increases Doxorubicin fluorescence. Doxorubicin fluorescence enables the monitoring of the localization of the drug within lipid bilayers and liposomal delivery systems and interaction of the drug with DNA and other macromolecules, as well as drug efflux pump activities.

Scientific Data

Multiplex Immunoassay Doxorubicin treated cardiomyocytes secrete Troponin T View Larger

Doxorubicin induces secretion of Troponin T from pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes Cardiomyocytes were treated with increasing doses of Doxorubicin (Catalog # 2252) for 24 hours. High concentration or extended exposure to Doxorubicin is known to induce heart failure. Doxorubicin-induced cardiac failure was quantified by measuring secreted Troponin T, a known biomarker of heart failure. Troponin T was detected via Luminex® bead-based multiplex assay (Catalog # LXSAH). Increased levels of secreted Troponin T are observed with increasing concentrations of Doxorubicin.

Multiplex Immunoassay doxorubicin decreases Pro-BNP secretion from cardiomyocytes View Larger

Pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes secrete Pro-BNP in response to small molecule-induction of cardiac hypertrophy Cardiomyocytes were treated with the vasoconstrictor, ET-1 (Endothelin-1; Catalog # 1160), or one of two L-type calcium channel inhibitors, Doxorubicin (Catalog # 2252) or Verapamil (Catalog # 0654). Levels of the cardiac hypertrophy marker, Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (Pro-BNP), were detected via Luminex® bead-based multiplex assay (Catalog # LXSAH). A substantial increase in Pro-BNP was detected in the medium of cardiomyocytes treated with ET-1, a known inducer of cardiac hypertrophy. Conversely, Doxorubicin and Verapamil decreased Pro-BNP secretion from cardiomyocytes.
