Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Adriamycin is an antibiotic anthracycline that inhibits DNA topoisomerase II (TOP2). Adriamycin blocks the synthesis of DNA by intercalating into the DNA strand. Adriamycin induces DNA damage and apoptosis. The adriamycin IC50 value is ??00 µM and 7.29 µM in drug-resistant HEp2A and HEp2 cells, respectively.[1] Adriamycin (40 nM) has a marginal effect on the survival of CD138+ cells (100% untreated vs 83.25% adriamycin treated). Co-treatment of butyrate (600 µM) and adriamycin (40 nM) significantly reduce the survival of CD138+ cells (43.42%).[2] Adriamycin (0.5 and 1 µM) inhibits AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation at Thr172 and concomitantly reduces acetyl-CoA carboxylase (downstreamtarget of AMPK) phosphorylation at the Ser79 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) after 16 hours treatment. Adriamycin (1 µM) markedly reduces the levels of p-AMPK and phospho-acetyl-CoA carboxylase and increases the levels of p53 with increased detection of cleaved caspase-3 after 16 hours incubation in H9C2 cardiomyocytes.[3] Adriamycin (345 nM) up-regulats CycG2 expression up to 5-fold within the first 4 hours of treatment and remains at elevated levels in cultures treated for 24 hours in the immortalized non-transformed breast epithelial cell line MCF10a. A comparable response is also observed in similarly treated MCF7, NIH3T3 and U2OS cells with adriamycin. Adriamycin (345 nM) increases 63% CycG2 abundance at centrosomes but doesn?? alter the signal intensity for the integral centrosomal protein γ-tubulin. Moreover, adriamycin-induced CycG2 up-regulation follows activation of the ATM signaling pathway but precedes accumulation of cells at the G2-phase checkpoint.[4] In an MCF7 breast cancer xenograft model, adriamycin (1.5 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection) signi?cantly inhibits tumor growth of 48%, and cotreated with seliciclib and adriamycin further inhibits tumor growth of 70% relative to the vehicle control group.[5] In the human breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231 (MB231) xenograft, adriamycin in combination with adenoviral MnSOD (AdMnSOD) plus 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) has the greatest effect in decreasing the volumes of MB231 tumors (from 1100 mm3 in controls to 64 mm3 in combination group) and prolonging survival of mice.[6]

Protocols

Adriamycin is prepared in H2O and kept at 4 °C for up to 1 month. [5]
