Bioactivity | Forodesine hydrochloride (BCX-1777 hydrochloride) is a highly potent and orally active purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) inhibitor with IC50 values ranging from 0.48 to 1.57 nM for human, mouse, rat, monkey and dog PNP. Forodesine hydrochloride is a potent human lymphocyte proliferation inhibitor. Forodesine hydrochloride could induce apoptosis in leukemic cells by increasing the dGTP levels[1][2]. |
Invitro | Forodesine (10-30 μM; 24 and 48 hours; RPMI-8226, MOLT-4 and 5T33MM cells) treatment is partially inhibition of proliferation[1].Forodesine (10-30 μM; 24 and 48 hours; RPMI-8226, MOLT-4 and 5T33MM cells) has no effect on the MM cells at 24 hours, while it could reduce the percentage of living cells in the MOLT-4 cells with 40%[1].Forodesine (BCX-1777), in the presence of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo, 3-10 μM), inhibits human lymphocyte proliferation activated by various agents such as interleukin-2 (IL-2), mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and phytohemagglutinin (PHA) (IC50 values < 0.1-0.38 μM)[2].
