    Eflornithine purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Immunity. 2025 Aug 12;58(8):2019-2034.e11.  [Abstract]

    Csnk2bTreg−/− and Csnk2bfl/fl mice were inoculated with B16.F10 cells and then orally administered Eflornithine hydrochloride hydrate (1% w/v) in combination with subcutaneous injection of AMXT 1501 around the tumor. We measured tumor growth and analyzed the phenotype of Treg cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) using multicolor flow cytometry. The combination therapy had no effect on tumor growth in Csnk2bTreg−/− mice but significantly inhibited tumor growth in Csnk2bfl/fl mice.

    体内実験

    Eflornithine is the only new molecule registered for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis over the last 50 years. It is the drug used mainly as a back-up for melarsoprol refractory Trypanosoma brucei gambiense cases[1]. In subjects with excessive, unwanted facial hair, eflornithine 15% cream is superior to placebo in reducing hair growth. After 24 weeks' treatment, 58% of eflornithine and 34% of placebo subjects have at least some improvement in facial hirsutism[2]. The hair growth inhibitory activity of eflornithine is significantly enhanced when the eflornithine cream is applied onto a mouse skin area pretreated with microneedles[3]. Treatment of coarctation hypertensive rats with eflornithine results in a normalization of the contractile intensity to KCI and norepinephrine and relaxations to acetylcholine by 14 days of hypertension[4].

    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.
