Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 49 mg/mL (198.94 mM)
Water Insoluble
Ethanol Insoluble
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
3.15mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL 63 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify it; then continue to add 500 μL ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Busulfan is a cell cycle non-specific alkylating antineoplastic agent. It causes DNA damage by cross-linking DNAs and DNA and proteins. Busulfan inhibits thioredoxin reductase activity. It also induces apoptosis. It is an immunosuppressive and myeloablative chemotherapeutic agent.
In vitro

Busulfan inhibits the cobblestone area-forming cell frequency but fails to cause a significant increase in apoptosis in hematopoietic stem cell alike cells and progenitors. Busulfan inhibits the hematopoietic function of HSC alike cells and progenitors via an apoptosis-independent mechanism. Busulfan induces bone marrow hematopoietic cell senescence associated with an increased expression of p16Ink4a and p19Arf in a time-dependent manner. [1] Busulfan, an alkylating agent that causes DNA damage by cross-linking DNAs and DNA and proteins, induces senescence in normal human diploid WI38 fibroblasts through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) cascade independent of the p53-DNA damage pathway. Busulfan induces a transient reduction in GSH but a continuous increase in ROS production. [2] Busulfan-induced hypophosphorylation of Rb prevents apoptosis of spermatogonial stem cells by inhibiting PCNA expression in testicular cells. [3]
In vivo

Busulfan-treated mice exhibit a marked increase in apoptosis and a decrease in testis weight. Busulfan is administered at the rate of 40 mg/kg body weight to induce a maximal number of apoptotic cells while minimizing the number of necrotic cells. [3] Busulfan conditioning and irradiation results in comparable sensitivity of HSC detection as evaluated by limiting dilution analysis in NOD/SCID mice. [4] Busulfan-transplanted mice has slow and incomplete lymphoid engraftment. Busulfan (20 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg) provides dose-dependent congenic lymphoid reconstitution in mice. [5]
Density 1.4 g/mL
