Product Overview:
Dacarbazine is a DNA alkylating prodrug that is activated by P450 enzymes in liver microsomes.{21297} Following activation, it is converted, through a series of reactions, into a methyldiazonium cation that alkylates DNA at all phases of the cell cycle and induces apoptosis. In vitro, dacarbazine inhibits the growth of B16/F1, A-875, and SK-MEL-5 melanoma and non-cancerous WI-38 lung fibroblast and L-02 hepatocyte cell lines (IC50s = 260, 287, 380, 526, and 367 μM, respectively).{41584} Dacarbazine toxicity to 518A2 and SK-MEL-28 melanoma cell lines increases in a time-dependent manner with IC50 values of 121 and >400 μM, respectively, following a 1 hour incubation and 2.5 and 50 μM, respectively, following a 96 hour incubation.{41585} In vivo, dacarbazine (70 mg/kg, once every 2 days) decreases tumor volume by 59.1% in a B16/F1 murine melanoma model in mice.{41584} Formulations containing dacarbazine have been used in the treatment of metastatic melanoma and for Hodgkin's lymphoma in combination with other antineoplastic agents.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
