Background

Ki = 62 μM for S49-derived high-affinity cAMP phosphodiesterase

Methylthioadenosine (MTA) is a naturally occurring sulfur-containing nucleoside in all mammalian tissues. MTA is mainly produced from S-adenosylmethionine via the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, behaving as a powerful inhibitory product.

In vitro: MTA was found to be solely metabolized by MTA-phosphorylase, to yield 5-methylthioribose-1-phosphate and adenine, which was a key step in methionine and purine salvage pathways, respectively. Previous studies suggested that MTA coud affect various cellular processes. MTA had been shown to be albe to influence plenty of critical cell responses, such as proliferation, gene expression regulation, differentiation as well as apoptosis. Though most of such responses had been only observed at the pharmacological level, their specificity made it tempting to speculate that endogenous MTA might play a regulatory role in the cell [1].

In vivo: The hepatoprotective effects of MTA had been evaluated in a model of CCl4-induced chronic liver damage in rats. In this study, MTA could reproduce the human lesions induced by alcohol and viral infections of the liver. In addition, replenishment of the hepatic pool of MTA showed strong anti-oxidant effects and also reduced liver cell damage and fibrosis [2].

Clinical trial: Up to now, MTA is still in the preclinical development stage.

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
