1. Metabolic Enzyme/Protease Apoptosis
  2. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Apoptosis
  3. Anagrelide

Anagrelide is a potent inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type III (PDE3) (IC50=36 nM). Anagrelide, an imidazoquinazoline derivative, acts as an inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Anagrelide inhibits bone marrow megakaryocytopoiesis. Anagrelide decreases gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) cell proliferation and promotes their apoptosis in vitro. Anagrelide is a platelet-lowering agent and plays in the antithrombopoietic action.

Anagrelide inhibits bone marrow megakaryocytopoiesis. Anagrelide decreases gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) cell proliferation and promotes their apoptosis in vitro.

In Vitro

Anagrelide potently inhibits the development of marrow megakaryocytes (IC50=26 nM)[1].
Anagrelide (0.05, 0.3, 1 µM; 12-day) inhibits only megakaryocytic cell growth not non-megakaryocytic cells[2].
Anagrelide (0.1-10000 nM) induces a cytotoxic effect in the GIST882 cell line[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Proliferation Assay[2]

Cell Line: Megakaryocytic and non-megakaryocytic cells
Concentration: 0.05, 0.3, 1 µM
Incubation Time: 12-day
Result: Inhibited only megakaryocytic cell growth at every concentration tested

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[3]

Cell Line: GIST882 and GIST48 cell line
Concentration: 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 nM
Incubation Time:
Result: Induced a cytotoxic effect in the GIST882 cell line (IC50= 16 nM), but was only weakly active in the GIST48 cell line.
In Vivo

Anagrelide (5 mg/kg/bid; for 10 days) inhibits or reduces tumor growth in GIST2B, GIST9, GIST882 model models[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Adult female athymic mice bearing GIST2B, GIST3, GIST9, GIST882 model[3]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg
Administration: Twice daily; for 10 days
Result: Inhibited or reduced tumor growth in three (GIST2B, GIST9, GIST882) of these four models.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
