Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Bleomycin sulfate is a DNA synthesis inhibitor and glycopeptide antibiotic that functions as a potent anticancer agent. It chelates iron to form active complexes that react with molecular oxygen, generating superoxide and hydroxyl free radicals that induce single- and double-stranded DNA breaks. These reactive oxygen species trigger lipid peroxidation and inhibit cell proliferation, making bleomycin sulfate a widely used agent to induce experimental pulmonary fibrosis models. [1]

Solubility

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 100 mg/mL (66.11 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.)
Water 100 mg/mL
Ethanol Insoluble
FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
