Doxycycline

Synonyms: Vibramycin, Doxytetracycline, Doxiciclina, Doxycyclinum

Doxycycline (Vibramycin, Doxytetracycline, Doxiciclina, Doxycyclinum) is an antibiotic that is used in the treatment of a number of types of infections caused by bacteria and protozoa. Doxycycline is also a nonspecific matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor.

Biological Activity

Description Doxycycline (Vibramycin, Doxytetracycline, Doxiciclina, Doxycyclinum) is an antibiotic that is used in the treatment of a number of types of infections caused by bacteria and protozoa. Doxycycline is also a nonspecific matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor.
In vitro
In vitro

100 ng/mL-5 µg/mL Dox can significantly alter the metabolic profile of the cell, as well as reduce the proliferative rate, though the effect size depends upon the particular cell line used[1].

Doxycycline arrests cells in G1-S phase of the cell cycle in PANC-1 cells and induces the expression of p53 and its downstream target p21. It down-regulates antiapoptotic genes and induces proapoptotic genes. Doxycycline also induces apoptosis through a Fas/Fas-ligand dependent pathway in Jurkat T lymphocytes[2].

Cell Research Cell lines U87 astrocytoma cells, lung cancer cell lines H157 and H1437, LNCaP prostate cancer and HeLa cervical cancer cell lines
Concentrations 100 ng/mL, 1 µg/mL
Incubation Time 24, 72, and 96 hours
Method

Cells are seeded in 6 well plates at 50,000 cells per well and treated with Dox (100 ng/mL, 1 µg/mL, or vehicle control). Cells are counted 24, 72, and 96 hours after plating using a particle counter.

In Vivo
In vivo

Doxycycline successfully reduces tumor growth in vivo (inhibited pancreatic cancer cell growth)[2].

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.
