Solubility (25°C)* In vitro DMSO 56 mg/mL (201.97 mM)
Water ˂1 mg/mL
Ethanol ˂1 mg/mL
In vivo (Add solvents to the product individually and in order)
Clear solution
5% DMSO 50%PEG300 5%Tween80 40%ddH2O
1.0mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 20 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 500 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 400 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Azathioprine(BW 57-322) is an immunosuppressive drug, inhibiting purine synthesis and GTP-binding protein Rac1 activation, used in the treatment of organ transplantation and autoimmune diseases.
Targets
Rac1 [1]
In vitro

Azathioprine suppresses the activation of Rac1 target genes such as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), NF-kappaB, and bcl-x(L), leading to a mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis in primary human CD4+ T lymphocytes. Azathioprine thus converts a costimulatory signal into an apoptotic signal by modulating Rac1 activity. [1] Azathioprine-generated 6-Thio-GTP thus prevents the development of an effective immune response via blockade of Vav activity on Rac proteins. [2] Azathioprine (1 mM) restores ATP levels and arrests cell injury, while culture in glucose-enriched media augments ATP levels and ameliorates cell death. Azathioprine reduces viability 5-34% at day 1 and 42-92% by day 4. [3] Azathioprine decreases the viability of hepatocytes and induces the following events in primary culture of isolated rat hepatocytes: intracellular reduces glutathione (GSH) depletion, metabolic activity reduction, and lactate dehydrogenase release. Azathioprine effect on hepatocytes is associated with swelling and increased oxygen consumption of intact isolated rat liver mitochondria. [4]
In vivo

Azathioprine combined with cyclosporin A and prednisolone has resulted in survival of 14 out of 15 grafts (93%), compared with 11 out of 14 (79%) in the group treated with cyclosporin A alone in mouse-rat brain xenograft. [5]
