Technical Support

Forodesine (BCX-1777) 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 is a potent human lymphocyte proliferation inhibitor. Forodesine could induce apoptosis in leukemic cells by increasing the dGTP levels.

: 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.

: 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 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.

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

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.
