L-Asparagine monohydrate
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
L-Asparagine monohydrate is an essential amino acid for leukemic cells and a substrate for L-Asparaginase. L-Asparaginase is a potent anti-leukemic enzyme that promotes asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln) depletion and inhibits protein biosynthesis in lymphoblasts. Removal of L-asparagine from plasma by L-Asparaginase results in inhibition of RNA and DNA synthesis and subsequent apoptosis. L-Asparaginase has cell-killing ability in vitro and in vivo, and selectively inhibits the growth of cancer cells with low asparagine synthetase (AASNS) expression. L-Asparagine monohydrate can be used as a biomarker and sensor for the study of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

L-Asparagine monohydrate is the biological substrate of L-Asparaginase. The potential side effects of L-Asparaginase are causing normal cell death and inducing inflammation, metabolic disorders and neurotoxicity after use. The toxic side effects of L-Asparaginase may be caused by the action of glutaminase in it[1].
L-Asparagine monohydrate and L-Asparaginase have also been used to develop biosensors for analyzing asparagine levels in leukemia or food industry. In application, the characteristics of L-Asparagine monohydrate hydrolysis, which produces ammonium ions and causes pH changes, can be used to determine the level of L-Asparagine monohydrate by color and absorbance changes[1].
L-Asparaginase can preferentially kill leukemia cells, and the leukemia cell killing rate can be accurately measured using leukemia cell surface markers. L-Asparaginase showed no significant dose response at doses of 0.0001-0.1 IU/mL[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
In the NOD.Cg-PRKDCscidIL2RGtm1Wjl (NSG) mouse model, L-Asparaginase (1000 or 5000 IU/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once a day for 3 consecutive days) significantly depletes L-Asparagine monohydrate in the blood; in the high-dose group, L-Asparagine monohydrate also recoveres slowly after the cessation of L-Asparaginase injection[3].
When L-Asparaginase is encapsulated in red blood cells (ASP-RBC) and given to Swiss mice by intravenous injection (200 or 1000 IU/kg), the depletion time of L-Asparagine monohydrate in their plasma is prolonged. In the 1000 IU/kg dose group, levels of L-Asparagine monohydrate remains undetectable for up to 14 days, and the half-life of the enzyme is 9-10 days[4].
