8-Azaguanine is a purine analog which resembles guanine close enough to compete with it in the metabolism of living organisms. It has been widely studied and has shown to cause retardation of some malignant neoplasms when administered to tumors in animals. It has been used for the treatment of patients with leukemia.

Sample Use Guides

8-azaguanine was suspended in a 10 % glucose solution and delivered intravenously. Four patients received a daily dose of 8-azaguanine between 25 to 1000 mg for 4 to 42 days. Two of the four patients with acute leukemia showed a rapid decrease in the leukocyte count and regression in the size of the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Human epidermoid carcinoma cells (H.Ep.-2) and Adenocarcinoma-755 cells were maintained in SRI-14 tissue culture medium. Effects of 8-Azaguanine on cellular proliferation were determined by following the increase in cell number over a 72 hour period of exponential growth. Cell viability was determined by measurement of clones formed when approximately 100 H.Ep. 2 cells were cultured in 10 ml of medium over a 7- to 14-day period. Approximately 100 H.Ep. 2 S cells were attached to glass by overnight incubation. The cells were then exposed for 1 hour to 8-azaguanine in the presence or absence of 1 mM thymidine. Cells were washed and viability determined. The viability of H.Ep.-2 cells was limited to 35 % and 21 % of control cultures in the presence and absence of thymidine respectively.
