Cat. No.: HY-16209 Purity: 99.34%
COA Handling Instructions

Forodesine hydrochloride (BCX-1777 hydrochloride) is a highly potent and orally active purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) inhibitor with IC50 values ranging from 0.48 to 1.57 nM for human, mouse, rat, monkey and dog PNP. Forodesine hydrochloride is a potent human lymphocyte proliferation inhibitor. Forodesine hydrochloride could induce apoptosis in leukemic cells by increasing the dGTP levels.

Description

Forodesine hydrochloride (BCX-1777 hydrochloride) is a highly potent and orally active purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) inhibitor with IC50 values ranging from 0.48 to 1.57 nM for human, mouse, rat, monkey and dog PNP. Forodesine hydrochloride is a potent human lymphocyte proliferation inhibitor. Forodesine hydrochloride could induce apoptosis in leukemic cells by increasing the dGTP levels[1][2].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 1.19 nM (Human PNP), 0.48 nM (Mouse PNP), 1.24 nM (Rat PNP), 0.66 nM (Monkey PNP) and 1.57 nM (Dog PNP)[2]

In Vitro

Forodesine (10-30 μM; 24 and 48 hours; RPMI-8226, MOLT-4 and 5T33MM cells) treatment is partially inhibition of proliferation[1].
Forodesine (10-30 μM; 24 and 48 hours; RPMI-8226, MOLT-4 and 5T33MM cells) has no effect on the MM cells at 24 hours, while it could reduce the percentage of living cells in the MOLT-4 cells with 40%[1].
Forodesine (BCX-1777), in the presence of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo, 3-10 μM), inhibits human lymphocyte proliferation activated by various agents such as interleukin-2 (IL-2), mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and phytohemagglutinin (PHA) (IC50 values < 0.1-0.38 μM)[2].

Cell Proliferation Assay[1]

Cell Line: Human RPMI-8226, human MOLT-4 (T-ALL) cells, 5T33MM (Multiple myeloma, MM).
Concentration: 10 μM, 20 μM, 30 μM
Incubation Time: 24 and 48 hours
Result: At the effects at 48 hours, a complete block in proliferation in the MOLT-4 cells and 15% reduction in the 5T33MM cells.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Human RPMI-8226, human MOLT-4 (T-ALL) cells, 5T33MM (Multiple myeloma, MM).
Concentration: 10 μM, 20 μM, 30 μM
Incubation Time: 24 and 48 hours
Result: A limited induction of apoptosis.
In Vivo

Forodesine (BCX-1777) has excellent oral bioavailability (63%) in mice[2].
At a single dose of 10 mg/kg in mice, Forodesine elevates dGuo to approximately 5 μM[2].
n the human peripheral blood lymphocyte severe combined immunodeficiency (hu-PBL-SCID) mouse model, Forodesine is effective in prolonging the life span 2-fold or more[2].

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:  5% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    50% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.65 mM); Clear solution

  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  5% DMSO    95% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.65 mM); Clear solution

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.
