Azimexon
Azimexon (BM 12.531) is an orally active immunomodulator with radioprotective and antitumor activities. Azimexon prolongs survival in multiple mouse models, enhances immunity and hematopoiesis, and alleviates radiation injury and tumor metastasis. Azimexon causes reversible hemolytic anemia in rats and dogs, and exerts therapeutic activity against adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats. Azimexon can be used for the research of lung carcinoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, lung tumor, arthritis, breast cancer and AIDS‑related complex.

Actividad biológica
Azimexon (0.01-4.0 μg/mL; 12 h) slightly enhances NK cell cytotoxicity against K562, IGR3, and L1210 cells at concentrations of 0.01-0.25 μg/mL, inhibits NK activity at concentrations above 1 μg/mL[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Azimexon (2.5-250 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose on day 0) at 2.5 mg/kg significantly enhances the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in normal CD2F1 mice[1].
Azimexon (100 mg/kg; i.p.; two doses on days 9 and 16) significantly prolongs mean survival time by 31.8% in BALB/c mice bearing M109 alveolar carcinoma[1].
Azimexon (50 mg/kg; i.p.; six doses on days 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20) significantly augments Cytoxan therapy for L1210 leukemia in CD2F1 mice[1].
Azimexon acts synergistically with antibiotics to control lethal bacterial and fungal infections in mice[2].
Azimexon exhibits an antitumor effect in mouse tumor models[2].
Azimexon induces multiple immunomodulatory effects including leukocytosis, delayed-type hypersensitivity stimulation, and macrophage activation in Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus[2].
Azimexon exhibits activity against adjuvant-induced arthritis in SD rats and stimulates bone marrow by increasing colony forming units[3].
Azimexon markedly reduces x-radiation toxicity in SD rats[3].
Azimexon (1-3 g/kg; p.o., i.p.; single dose) has low acute toxicity, with an oral LD50 of 1 g/kg in mice and 3 g/kg in rats, and an intraperitoneal LD50 of 1.5 g/kg in both species[3].
