Description

Pyrazofurin is an antitumor pyrimidine nucleoside analogue and a orotate-phosphoribosyltransferase inhibitor. Pyrazofurin inhibits cell proliferation and intracellular DNA synthesis by inhibiting uridine 5'-phosphate synthase. Pyrazofurin is also an antibiotic with a broad spectrum of antiviral activity[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

Pyrazofurin (75 μM; 52 h) inhibits DNA synthesis in guinea pig lymphocytes treated with Canavagin A(HY-P2149), but is reversed by exogenous uridine[1].
Pyrazofurin (0.01-200 μM; 24-96 h) inhibits the growth of head and neck cancer cell lines HEP-2, UMSCC-14B and UMSCC-14C with the IC50 between 0.06 and 0.37 μM, and decreases the levels of intracellular UTP and CTP and increases the levels of ATP and GTP[2].
Pyrazofurin (0.1-100 μM; 72 h) inhibits parainfluenza type 3, measles, vaccinia, and herpes simplex type 2 viruses in Vero cells with the ED50 between 2.8 and 20 μM [3].

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

In Vivo

Pyrazofurin (0.25-5 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; 5 days) has an ameliorative effect in mice infected with Rift Valley fever virus[4].

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

Animal Model: Rift Valley fever virus-infected female Swiss Webster mice aged 3-4 weeks old[4]
Dosage: 0.25, 2.5 and 10 mg/kg
Administration: Subcutaneous injection (s.c.); 5 days
Result: Increased survival rate and generally prolonged life at 0.25 mg/kg dose.
Was uniformly ineffective at protecting mice from death but did increase the time to death at 2.5 mg/kg dose.
Had toxic to mice at high doses (10 mg/kg).

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.64 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.64 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
