Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | In the labeled 6-10B cells, N,N'-Dinitrosopiperazine (0.5-100 μM; 48 hours) does not exhibit any inhibitory effects, and DNP treatment in the 0.5-8 μM concentration range does not significantly change LDH activity. But starting at 10 μM, it becomes cytotoxic[1]. 6-10B cell invasion and motility are induced in a dose-dependent manner by N,N'-Dinitrosopiperazine (2-8 μM; 24 hours). At 6 μM, DNP increases cell motility by 328.2% and increases cell invasion by 421.7 percent compared to the control group[1]. In CNE1 cells, phospho-LYRIC s568 and LYRIC expression are upregulated by 6 μM of N,N'-Dinitrosopiperazine over a 24-hour period[1]. |
| ln Vivo | In vivo NPC metastasis is facilitated by N,N'-Dinitrosopiperazine (40 mg/kg; 30 days) injection into the tail veins, which decreases cell motility and invasion. Phospho-LYRIC expression is more prevalent in the metastatic tumors of DNP-treated mice compared to untreated control mice, according to an IHC result[1]. |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Types: The labeled 6-10B cells Tested Concentrations: 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20, 40, 80, or 100 μM Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Had no inhibitory effects at the concentration 0-8 μM. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: The NPC cell line CNE1 Tested Concentrations: 6 μM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Increased phospho-LYRIC s568 and LYRIC expression. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: BABL/c nude mice injected with labeled 6-10B cell suspensions (1 × 104 cells) with or without DNP(40 mg/kg)[1] Doses: 40 mg/kg Route of Administration: Injected into the tail veins; 30 days Experimental Results: Induced LYRIC phosphorylation at serine 568 associated with NPC metastasis in vivo. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion AFTER IP ADMIN OF 10 MG/69.5 MUCI PER KG (2,5-(14)C)-N,N'-DINITROSOPIPERAZINE TO RATS 1% OF RADIOACTIVITY WAS EXHALED AS (14)CO2, 1% WAS EXCRETED VIA BILE & ABOUT 40% WAS EXCRETED IN URINE. Metabolism / Metabolites AFTER ADMIN OF (2,5-(14)C)-DINITROSOPIPERAZINE TO RATS TWO OF THE URINE METABOLITES WERE IDENTIFIED AS 3-HYDROXYNITROSOPYRROLIDINE & 1-NITROSOPIPERAZINONE-(3). |

| Additional Infomation | Carcinogen is any chemical, biological or physical agents that increase the risk of neoplasms in humans or animals. Carcinogens include natural or synthesized compounds, certain viruses, and various sources of radiation. A carcinogen may directly alter the genetic material of cells (genotoxic), thereby initiating or promoting the process of malignant transformation; it also may induce cancers by mechanisms that do not involve a direct alteration of cellular genetic material (non-genotoxic).

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals). Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] *Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
