Thermo Scientific™ Doxorubicin Hydrochloride (≥97%) is a naturally derived anthracycline antibiotic with potent antitumor and cytotoxic properties, originally isolated from Streptomyces peucetius.
It exerts its effect through DNA intercalation and topoisomerase II inhibition, preventing DNA replication and transcription. This process triggers apoptosis and oxidative stress via free radical formation, making doxorubicin one of the most studied agents in cancer and drug-resistance research.
Its inherent fluorescent properties make it useful for studying drug efflux pumps, subcellular trafficking, and organelle sequestration (Golgi and lysosomal systems).
Key Features
- High Purity: ≥97% confirmed by supplier’s CoA.
- Mechanism of Action: DNA intercalator and topoisomerase II inhibitor.
- Dual Activity: Inhibits nucleic acid synthesis and induces apoptosis.
- Fluorescent Compound: Enables real-time visualization of cellular uptake and efflux.
- Biologically Active: Generates reactive oxygen species, leading to lipid peroxidation and cell death.
- Research-Grade Quality: Ideal for mechanistic, biochemical, and cytotoxicity assays.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from light and oxidizers.
- Research Use Only (RUO): Not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications.
