Thioguanine is an anti-leukemia and immunosuppressant agent, with IC50 values of 40µM and 25μM for recombinant USP2 and coronaviral PLpro, respectively [1]. Thioguanine can be incorporated into CpG sites, affecting methylation of cytosine residues by methyltransferases and reducing the overall methylation level of cytosine[2]. Thioguanine has been widely used to inhibit a wide variety of cancer cells with a high frequency of homozygous deletion of the gene for methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) [3].
In vitro, Thioguanine treatment for 48h inhibited the cell viability of MDA-MB-231, HCC1937, and MCF-10A cells with IC50 values of 2.489, 6.3, and 646.5μM, respectively[4]. Thioguanine treatment for 24 hours inhibited Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication in human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) with an IC50 value of 0.104μM[5]. Treatment with 1µM Thioguanine for 48 hours significantly inhibited DNA polymerase γ replication in HCT116 cells, damaged mitochondrial DNA, and led to mitochondrial dysfunction[6].
In vivo, Thioguanine treatment via oral administration at a dose of 2.5mg/kg/day for 14 days ameliorated dextran sodium sulfate-induced chronic colitis in C57Bl/6 mice [7]. Thioguanine treatment (0.04mg/day; p.o.) for 5 days significantly extended the survival of the mouse model of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis[8].

Thioguanine是一种抗白血病和免疫抑制剂,对重组USP2和冠状病毒PLpro的IC50值分别为40µM和25µM[1]。Thioguanine可被掺入CpG位点,影响甲基转移酶对胞嘧啶残基的甲基化,并降低胞嘧啶的总体甲基化水平[2]。Thioguanine已被广泛用于抑制多种甲基硫代腺苷磷酸化酶(MTAP)基因纯合缺失高频率的癌细胞[3]。
在体外,Thioguanine处理48小时抑制了MDA-MB-231、HCC1937和MCF-10A细胞的活力,IC50值分别为2.489、6.3和646.5µM[4]。Thioguanine处理24小时抑制了单纯疱疹病毒1型(HSV-1)在人角膜上皮细胞(HCECs)中的复制,IC50值为0.104µM[5]。使用1µM的Thioguanine处理48小时,显著抑制了HCT116细胞中的DNA聚合酶γ复制,损伤了线粒体DNA,并导致线粒体功能障碍[5]。
在体内,以每日2.5mg/kg的剂量口服给予Thioguanine 14天,改善了C57Bl/6小鼠中由葡聚糖硫酸钠诱导的慢性结肠炎[7]。Thioguanine处理(每日0.04mg;p.o.)5天,显著延长了Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis小鼠模型的存活时间[8]。

Cell lines | MDA-MB-231 cells |
Preparation Method | MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100IU/ml penicillin, and 100μg/ml streptomycin. The cells were cultured at 37℃ in a humidified environment with 5% CO2. 6.5×103 cells were seeded in each well of a 96-well plate and treated with various concentrations of Thioguanine (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, and 1000µM) for 48 hours. After that, CCK-8 solution was added and absorbance was measured at 450nm wavelength. |

Animal models | Female C3H/HeSlc mice |
Preparation Method | 10-week-old female C3H/HeSlc mice acclimated to the environment for one week. A mouse model of Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis was established by injecting 0.05 ml of 2×105 methotrexate -resistant MM46 cells into the cisterna magna through a 26-gauge needle under anesthesia. Mice were maintained under SPF-grade conditions with controlled temperature and humidity, 12h light/12h dark cycles, and had ad libitum access to standard diet and sterilized tap water. The body weight, mobility, and food intake of mice were observed daily. Thioguanine was administered by gavage once a day for five consecutive days at a dose of 0.04mg, and the survival rate was analyzed. |
Dosage form | 0.04mg/day for 5 days; p.o. |
