Description of Carmustine-d8

Carmustine-d8 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of carmustine by GC- or LC-MS. Carmustine is a DNA alkylating agent.1,2 It inhibits cell growth and induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in C6 rat glioma cells when used at a concentration of 10 ?M.2 In vivo, carmustine (0.3 and 6.7 mg/kg per day) reduces tumor growth in a C6 rat glioma model. Carmustine (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) also reduces the number of amyloid-β plaques and brain levels of amyloid-β (1-40) (Aβ40), as well as increases brain levels of soluble amyloid precursor protein (sAPP) in the APP/PS1 transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.3 Formulations containing carmustine have been used in the treatment of gliomas and glioblastomas.

In vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution) of Carmustine-d8

Step 1: Enter information below (Recommended: An additional animal making an allowance for loss during the experiment)

mg/kg g μL

Step 2: Enter the in vivo formulation (This is only the calculator, not formulation. Please contact us first if there is no in vivo formulation at the solubility Section.)

%DMSO %

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

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.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
