Bioactivity | Cladribine (2-Chloro-2′-deoxyadenosine), a purine nucleoside analog, is an orally active adenosine deaminase inhibitor. Cladribine functions as an inhibitor of DNA synthesis to block the repair of the damaged DNA. Cladribine can inhibit DNA methylation. Cladribine has anti-lymphoma activity. Cladribine can be used for the research of several hematologic malignancies and multiple sclerosis[1][2]. |
Invitro | Cladribine (0.25-4 μM; 24-48 hours) inhibits human DLBCL cells proliferation[1].Cladribine (1-4 μM; 24 hours) induces G1 phase arrest via decreasing the expressions of Cyclin D1 and Cyclin E, and increasing the expressions of p21 and p27 in DLBCL cells[1].Cladribine (1-4 μM; 24 hours) induces apoptosis and activates extrinsic and intrinsic signaling pathways in human DLBCL cells[1].Cladribine (1-4 μM; 24 hours) activates endoplasmic reticulum stress[1].Cladribine inhibits cell proliferation of multiple myeloma (MM) cells in a dose-dependent manner; with IC50s of approximately 2.43 μM, 0.75 μM and 0.18 μM for U266, RPMI8226 and MM1.S cells, respectively[2].
