Biological Activity

Description BrdU (Bromodeoxyuridine) is a nucleoside analog that competes with thymidine for incorporation into DNA, and used in the detection of proliferating cells.
In vitro
In vitro

In RG2 rat glioma cells, Bromodeoxyuridine induces a progressive, dose-responsive suppression of cancer cell line and cancer stem cell population expansion. In H9 cells and BJ fibroblasts, Bromodeoxyuridine alters the cell cycle profile. [1]

BrdU is stably integrated into the DNA, and thus can be used in assessment of cell proliferation and other cell procession. [2]

Cell Research Cell lines RG2 rat glioma cells
Concentrations ~ 50 µM
Incubation Time 24 hours
Method

Cultures are initially plated at 2000 cells/cm2 and are quantified with a Z2 Coulter Counter. RG2 rat glioma cells are treated once with 0, 1, 10, or 50 µM BrdU for 24 hours, and cumulative growth curves were obtained over 18 days. Control and treated cells are quantified and replated at equal densities on days 5, 12, and 18 after treatment.

In Vivo
In vivo

In rat glioma RG2 tumor model, Bromodeoxyuridine (300 mg/kg, i.p. or 0.8 mg/ml, p.o.) significantly slows tumor progression. [1]

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.
