Allopurinol-riboside competitively inhibits the action of purine nucleoside phosphorylase on inosine with a Ki of 277 μM. Lymphocyte blastogensis induced by PHA and Con A is significantly suppressed by allopurinol-riboside in a concentration-dependent manner. When LPS is used as a mitogen, the inhibition of allopurinol-ribosideon lymphocyte proliferation is less marked. Humoral immunity is not suppressed by allopurinol-riboside[1]. Allopurinol riboside is an experimental agent for the treatment of leishmaniasis and American trypanosomiasis. Allopurinol riboside is effective against parasites, because a series of enzymes (analogous to those that mediate purine salvage in humans) convert it into 4-aminopyrazolopyrimidine ribonucleoside triphosphate, a cytotoxic product. Allopurinol riboside is selectively toxic, because it is not metabolized by the corresponding enzymes in humans[2].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.32 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.32 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 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.
