6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine; 2-Amino-6-purinethiol) is an anti-leukemia and immunosuppressant agent, acts as an inhibitor of SARS and MERS coronavirus papain-like proteases (PLpros) and also potently inhibits USP2 activity, with IC50s of 25 μM and 40 μM for Plpros and recombinant human USP2, respectively.
6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine; 2-Amino-6-purinethiol) is an anti-leukemia and immunosuppressant agent, acts as an inhibitor of SARS and MERS coronavirus papain-like proteases (PLpros) and also potently inhibits USP2 activity, with IC50s of 25 μM and 40 μM for Plpros and recombinant human USP2, respectively[1]. 6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine) affects the methylation of cytosine residues by purified DNA methyltransferases including human DNMT1 and bacterial HpaII methylase. 6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine) (1 or 3 μM) decreases global cytosine methylation in Jurkat T cells and cytosine methylation in human cells at 3 μM[2]. 6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine) (18.75, 37.50, or 75.00 μM) adversely affects cell viability, but with no effect on LDH or ALT activity[3].

Cell experiment: |
Treatments consists of 3 thiopurines (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, and 6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine)) at each of 6 concentrations (0.468, 0.937, 1.875, 3.750, 7.500, and 15.000 μM). Each thiopurinee is dissolved in DMSO solution to achieve a concentration of 10 mg/mL. Sterile filtered maintenance medium is used to further dilute each thiopurine solution to each of the 6 treatment concentrations. Twenty-four hours after the hepatocytes are plated on 96-well culture[3]. |

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |

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.
