Description

2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine is a specific GTP cyclohydrolase I inhibitor (the rate-limiting enzyme in de novo pterin synthesis). 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine blocks Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis and suppresses NO production[1][2].

IC50 & Target

GTP cyclohydrolase I[1]

In Vitro

2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) exhibits a dose-dependent reduction in NO production in both chicken peritoneal macrophages (PECs) and the avian MC29 virus-transformed macrophage cell line, HD11[1].
2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP; 5 mM; 24 hours) treatment significantly reduces both BH4 and VCAM-1 levels during the time course in HUVEC cells. 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine reduces VCAM-1 and GTPCH protein synthesis at least partially via suppressing the NF-κB level in the nucleus of HUVEC[2].
2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) is first identified as an inhibitor of the biopterin-dependent growth of the protozoan Crithidia fasciculate[2].

In Vivo

When 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (DAHP) is administered for 4 days at the dose of 3 g/kg/day in mice, serotonin decreased in the duodenum and colon to approximately 46% and 40% of the control levels, respectively. 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine causes a rapid decrease (T1/2 of less than 12 hr) in the BH4 levels in all tissues examined, except in the brain. The BH4 level returned to within the normal range less than 24 hr after cessation of the administration of 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (13.24 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (13.24 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
