Tigecycline (0.63-30 μM, preincubated for 4 days, treated for 72 h) inhibits AML2 cells and HL-60 cells with IC ₅₀ s of 4.72±0.54 and 3.06±0.85 μM (freshly prepared). Tigecycline inhibits AML2 cells and HL-60 cells with IC ₅₀ s of 5.64±0.55 and 4.27±0.45 μM (1 day preincubation). Tigecycline inhibits AML2 cells and HL-60 cells with IC ₅₀ s of 5.02±0.60 and 4.39±0.44 μM (2 day preincubation). Tigecycline inhibits AML2 cells and HL-60 cells with IC ₅₀ s of 4.09±0.41 and 3.95±0.39 μM (3 day preincubation). After a 4 day preincubation of Tigecycline in saline, Tigecycline lost its ability to kill TEX human leukemia cells (from IC ₅₀ ~5 μM when freshly prepared to IC ₅₀ >50 μM after 4 days preincubation) as measured by CellTiter Flour assay.

Tigecycline (50 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; twice a day; for 11 days) reduces tumor volume and weight in NOD/SCID mice.
The peak plasma concentration (C _max ), the terminal half-life (t _1/2 ), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (Vz) are 22.8μg/mL, 108.9 min, 1912.2min*μg/mL, 26.1 mL/min/kg, 4109.4 mL/kg for Tigecycline in saline, respectively. The peak plasma concentration (C _max ), the terminal half-life (t _1/2 ), area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (Vz) are15.7μg/mL, 110.3 min, 2036.5 min*μg/mL, 24.6 mL/min/kg, 3906.2 mL/kg for Tigecycline in formulation (60 mg/mL pyruvate, 3 mg/mL ascorbic acid, pH 7 in saline) , respectively.
