Guadecitabine sodium [929904-85-8]

Guadecitabine sodium (SGI-110 sodium) is a second-generation DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) inhibitor for research of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)^[1].

After HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells are treated for 6 days, a dose-dependent increase in p16expression is observed with Guadecitabine sodium (SGI-110 sodium). In addition, T24 and HCT116 cells treated with Guadecitabine sodium or 5-aza-CdR for 3 days show a dose-dependent increase in the level of p16 protein, showing the competence of Guadecitabine sodium to inhibit DNA methylation and induce p16 at both mRNA and protein levels as well as 5-aza-CdR. Thus, Guadecitabine sodium is able to inhibit DNA methylation at 5′-region and induce the expression of the p16 gene in T24 and HCT116 cells at concentrations comparable to 5-aza-CdR, and the induction of p16 expression by both agents correlates with the demethylation at the 5′-end region of the gene in both cell lines. Guadecitabine sodium is slightly less toxic than 5-aza-CdR at the doses tested up to 1 μM concentration but displaying similar toxicity at 10 μM concentration^[1].

* Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month (sealed storage, away from moisture). When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.
