2-Chloro-3′-deoxyadenosine is an analogue of purine nucleoside. Purine nucleoside analogues have broad-spectrum anticancer effect targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. The anti-cancer mechanism in this process relies on inhibiting DNA synthesis and inducing apoptosis.

Biological Activity

Targets	DNA synthesis
ln Vitro	Purine nucleoside analogues (PNA) are the cytotoxic agents highly active in the treatment of indolent lymphoid malignancies. These drugs have chemical structure similar to adenosine or deoxyadenosine. PNAs are characterized by a similar mechanism of cytotoxicity both in proliferating and quiescent cells, such as inhibition of DNA synthesis, inhibition of DNA repair and accumulation of DNA strand breaks. In addition, PNAs induce apoptosis which is the end-point of their action. Older PNAs, pentostatin (DCF; 2'- deoxycoformycin), cladribine (2-CdA; 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine) and fludarabine (2-fluoro-9-(-D-arabinosyl)-adenine) were approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hematological malignancies. In addition three novel PNAs: clofarabine (CAFdA), nelarabine (ara-G) and forodesine (immucillin H, BCX-1777) have been synthesized and introduced into preclinical studies and clinical trials. This review summarizes current knowledge on the mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties of older and new PNAs. Clinical activity and toxicity of PNAs, especially in hairy cell leukemia (HCL), hairy cell leukemia variant (HCL-V), prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL) and other rarer chronic lymphoid leukemias, are also presented. 2-CdA and DCF, introduced in the 1980s, changed radically the treatment modality, inducing complete and durable responses in the majority of patients with HCL. In contrast, the results of the treatment of HCL-V with PNA are rather poor. There are also several reports indicating activity of PNAs in PLL and large granular lymphocyte leukemia. Clofarabine, nelarabine and forodesine need further investigation in rarer lymphid leukemias, to better define their status in the treatment of these disorders[1].

Solubility Data

Solubility (In Vitro)

May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples

Solubility (In Vivo)

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 ：Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals). Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] *Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C，1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Oral Formulation 3: Dissolved in PEG400 Oral Formulation 4: Suspend in 0.2% Carboxymethyl cellulose Oral Formulation 5: Dissolve in 0.25% Tween 80 and 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Oral Formulation 6: Mixing with food powders Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

Preparing Stock Solutions		1 mg	5 mg	10 mg

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
