Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	Nucleoside antimetabolite/analog
In vitro	Treatment of Dacarbazine sensitizes melanomas to lysis of peptide-specific CTL and it is mediated through Fas-independent pathway.
In vivo	Treatment of combination of Axitinib and this compound demonstrates significant antitumor activity against melanoma flank xenografts, reduces tumor cell proliferation and decreases the area of tumor necrosis and increases apoptosis. It also reduces meta-tasis-related factors and prolongs lifespan in mice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:
Could you please help me test some common vehicles for it in vivo experiments?

Answer:
It can dissolve in 0.5% CMC Na at 30mg/ml as a suspension. After staying for a period of time, the powder will drop down to the bottom of the tube, so please vortex well before use.
