    Forodesine purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Biol Reprod. 2026 Jan 12:ioag007.  [Abstract]

    The adolescent mice were administered water either with or without 0-15 mg/kg Forodesine (BCX-1777) for 1 week, and then the ovaries were obtained for immunofluorescence and hematoxylin staining. The results showed that compared with the control, oral administration of 10 and 15 mg/kg BCX-1777 significantly decreased the number of growing follicles in the ovaries.

    The adolescent mice were administered water either with or without 0-15 mg/kg Forodesine (BCX-1777) for 1 week, and then the ovaries were obtained for hypoxanthine concentration detection. The results showed that, compared with the control, oral administration of 10 and 15 mg/kg BCX-1777 significantly decreased hypoxanthine levels in the ovaries.

    Correlation between PNP and HER-2 in SKBR3 cells. Western blot analysis showing protein expression levels of HER-2 and PNP in SKBR3 cells treated with vehicle control (CTL), Forodesine (BCX-1777, a PNP inhibitor; 10 μM; 48 h), or trastuzumab (a HER-2 inhibitor). The results showed that inhibition of PNP using BCX-1777 resulted in significant (p < 0.01) upregulation of HER-2 by ~1.45 fold.

    Forodesine purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Oncol Res. 2025 Dec 30;34(1):13.  [Abstract]

    SKBR3 cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay and expressed as a percentage relative to untreated control (CTL) cells. Data shown are representative blots from three independent biological replicates (n = 3). The results showed that treatment with Forodesine (BCX-1777, 10 μM; 48 h) alone, a pharmacological PNP inhibitor, significantly reduced the cell viability by ~30%. A combination of BCX-1777 with trastuzumab resulted in a further reduction in the cell viability (~34%, p < 0.01). These results demonstrated that inhibition of PNP enhanced the cytotoxic effect of HER-2 inhibition.

    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].

    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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.39 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      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: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.39 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.

    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.
