Stock solutions of TPEN in DMSO can be prepared at 50 mM. This is inferred from a study where the authors used TPEN on rat liver nuclei at 1 mM, with DMSO at 2%. The study titled "1,10-Phenanthroline stimulates internucleosomal DNA fragmentation in isolated rat-liver nuclei by promoting the redox activity of endogenous copper ions" was published in the Biochemical Journal in 1996 by Burkitt, M.J., et al.

Application
N,N,N′,N′-Tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine has been used:
- in the treatment of human embryonic kidney (HEK293T) cells for assessing its effect on the Jembrana disease virus (JDV) viral infectivity factor (Vif) functionality
- in P19 embryonic carcinoma cells for chelation of zinc ions released during apoptosis
- to evaluate its effect on lentiviral Vpx infection on human monocytic THP-1 cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
TPEN is a membrane-permeable zinc chelator; decreased the intracellular level of zinc and induced apoptosis (i.e., cell shrinkage and formation of apoptotic bodies with DNA fragmentation and formation of a typical DNA ladder pattern).
N,N,N′,N′-Tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN) elicits pro-apoptotic effect in human acute promyelocytic NB4 cells by inhibiting nitric oxide signalling and Zn2+ signaling. In microglia pretreated with zinc, TPEN inhibits the interleukin 6 secretion and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA expression. It induces damage on DNA structure by activating ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) and ATR (ATM-Rad3-related) signaling in human colon cancer cells.
