Azathioprine sodium  (Synonyms: BW 57-322 sodium)

Cat. No.: HY-B0256A
Handling Instructions

Azathioprine (BW 57-322) sodium is an orally active immunosuppressive agent. Azathioprine can be converted in vivo to the active metabolite 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). Azathioprine has myelosuppressive effects and induces apoptosis.

Description

Azathioprine (BW 57-322) sodium is an orally active immunosuppressive agent. Azathioprine can be converted in vivo to the active metabolite 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). Azathioprine has myelosuppressive effects and induces apoptosis[1][3].

In Vitro

Azathioprine (0-50 μM, 48 hours) sodium can induce severe intracellular GSH depletion with relevant concentrations in both primary rat and human hepatocytes[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: Rat hepatocytes, Human hepatocytes
Concentration: 0-50 μM
Incubation Time: 24-48 hours
Result: Showed the decrease in cell viability and intracellular GSH levels in rat hepatocytes as low concentration of 0.5 μM but no significant decrease in cell viability at concentrations below 50 μM as well as GSH depletion was obviously noted at a concentration as low as 1 μM in human hepatocytes.
In Vivo

Azathioprine (oral gavage, 25-400 mg/kg, everyday, 10days) sodium can affect bone marrow cells, red blood cells, and peripheral blood cytokines and other related parameters in a dose-dependent manner, and can induce apoptosis in female CD-1 mice and ICR mice[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Outbred female CD-1 mice, Female ICR mice[3]
Dosage: 25-400 mg/kg
Administration: Oral gavage; everyday; 10days
Result: Induced a decrease in erythrocyte-related parameters as well as leukocyte-related parameters in a dose-dependent manner.
Induced 52.4%, 35.4%, 17.9%, 16.1% and 15.2% reduction in bone marrow cells at concentrations of 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 mg/kg, respectively while fms-like tyrosine kinase-3(FLT-3) ligand (FL)-related cytokines were increased.
Increased induction of apoptosis.

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.
