Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro

Procarbazine plus Cu(II) induce piperidine-labile and formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase-sensitive lesions at the 5'-ACG-3' sequence, complementary to a hotspot of the p53 gene, and the 5'-TG-3' sequence. Procarbazine causes DNA damage through non-enzymatic formation of the Cu(I)-hydroperoxo complex and methyl radicals. [1] Procarbazine has a strong clastogenic effect in hematopoietic cells and is mutagenic in a variety organs after high dose treatment. [2]

In vivo

Procarbazine causes significant decrease in testicular and epididymal weight and a drastic reduction in haploid cells and spermatogenic arrest, demonstrating variation among the test golden hamster. [3] Procarbazine produces a dose-dependent potentiation of MAO A in brown adipose tissue, the elevation being more pronounced following monomethylhydrazine, with activity rising to 350% of that in control homogenates in rats. Procarbazine or monomethylhydrazine reduces metabolism of this amine by a similar degree as had been determined ex-vivo in blood vessel homogenates. [4] Procarbazine is mutagenic, clastogenic and teratogenic in a wide range of test systems of varying complexity and a wide-spectrum carcinogen in rodents and monkeys, causing tumours of the haemopoietic system, the mammary gland, the lung and the nervous system. Procarbazine in vivo undergoes a complex series of metabolic changes that result in the generation of a number of chemically reactive species, including methylating agents and free radicals. [5]
