Biological Activity

Description Cremophor EL, a polyethoxylated surfactant, is a formulation vehicle used for various poorly-water soluble drugs, including the anticancer agent paclitaxel (Taxol). Cremophor EL is used in severe anaphylactoid hypersensitivity reactions, hyperlipidaemia, abnormal lipoprotein patterns, aggregation of erythrocytes and peripheral neuropathy.
In vitro

Cremophor EL is a widely used excipient. In the first 10 h, Cremophor EL at 5 mg/mL increases the impedance, then decreases it, and after 20 h of treatment, epithelial cell death is detected. Cremophor EL in concentrations corresponding to clinical doses causes endothelial and epithelial toxicity. Both epithelial viability and monolayer integrity are seriously impaired at 10 to 50 mg/mL concentrations of Cremophor EL at 24-h treatment. Cremophor EL also enhances cell detachment.[1]

In vivo

Cremophor EL-BB4 formulation-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) disseminated cancer in CT26-Luc mouse colon carcinoma model of intraperitoneal (IP) and significantly prolonged survival in mice when used along with white light.

Density 1.05 g/mL at 20 °C

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[1]

  • Cell lines

    Human cell lines brain microvascular endothelial, Caco-2 cells

  • Concentrations

    0.1-50 mg/ml

  • Incubation Time

    24 h

  • Method

    Cell lines are seeded in culture dishes at a density of 5 × 104 cells/cm2, and the medium is changed every 2 days. Cremophor EL are tested at 0.1–50 mg/mL concentrations. Triton X-100 detergent (10 mg/mL) is used in toxicity assays as a reference compound to cause cell death.
