Cycloguanil-d4 (hydrochloride)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Cycloguanil-d4 (Chlorguanide triazine-d4) hydrochloride is the deuterium labeled Cycloguanil hydrochloride (HY-12784A). Cycloguanil hydrochloride is a dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitor with an IC50 of 10.8 μM against human DHFR. Cycloguanil hydrochloride blocks the folate metabolic pathway, thereby affecting nucleotide synthesis and interfering with DNA replication. Cycloguanil hydrochloride inhibits DHFR in Plasmodium and is thus used in malaria research. Cycloguanil hydrochloride also potently inhibits DHFR in human cancer cells and blocks the transcriptional activity of STAT3, thereby exhibiting anticancer activity.

In Vitro
Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Further protocols information, click here.
Application
1. This compound can be used as a tracer
2. This compound can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS.

Protocols
-
Dual Luciferin reporter gene assay
Luciferin reporter gene assay is a reporting system to detect the activity of Firefly Luciferase using luciferin as a substrate, which is often used in the research of miRNA target gene verification and promoter transcriptive activity regulation. Dual luciferase usually refers to Firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase.
-
Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
-
PCNA Immunodetection Proliferation Assay
PCNA immunodetection measures proliferative activity by detecting proliferating cell nuclear antigen, a nuclear protein associated with DNA polymerase δ function and DNA replication. The assay readout is the proportion of PCNA-positive nuclei among total counted cells, but PCNA labeling is not identical to BrdU labeling because PCNA can mark late G1/early S-associated replication competence and may persist beyond active DNA synthesis depending on fixation and extraction conditions.
