Product Description
4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine is an analogue of purine nucleoside. Purine nucleoside analogues have broad-spectrum anticancer effect targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. The anti-cancer mechanism in this process relies on inhibiting DNA synthesis and inducing apoptosis.
4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine (also known as 2'-Deoxy-4-thiouridine or 4-Thiodeoxyuridine) is a photoactive nucleoside analog. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad-spectrum anticancer activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. The anticancer mechanism involves inhibition of DNA synthesis and induction of apoptosis. It is a photoactive nucleoside analog that absorbs light at wavelengths around 340 nm. It is a research-grade compound not approved for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Purine nucleoside metabolism pathways, DNA synthesis. As a purine nucleoside analog, 4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine is incorporated into DNA, disrupting nucleic acid synthesis. The compound targets rapidly dividing cells, particularly lymphoid malignancies. The thio group at position 4 confers photoactivity, allowing selective photoactivation.
ln Vitro
4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine demonstrates activity as a purine nucleoside analog in cellular assays. It has broad-spectrum anticancer effects. The compound inhibits DNA synthesis and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Its photoactive properties enable light-induced cross-linking to DNA. Detailed IC50 values have not been disclosed.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of 4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine has not been extensively characterized in published literature. As a purine nucleoside analog, it would be expected to have antitumor activity in animal models. Its photoactive properties could enable photodynamic therapy approaches. In vivo studies would be needed to evaluate its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for purine nucleoside analogs typically involve measuring inhibition of DNA synthesis using radiolabeled thymidine incorporation. For photoactive analogs, cells are treated with the compound and exposed to UV light at 340 nm to induce cross-linking. Cell viability is assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Apoptosis is evaluated by caspase activation or Annexin V staining.
Cell Assay
Cells (e.g., lymphoid malignancy cell lines or other cancer cell lines) are cultured and treated with 4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine at concentrations typically ranging from 0.1–100 μM for 24–72 hours. For photoactivation studies, cells are exposed to 340 nm light after compound treatment. DNA synthesis inhibition is measured by BrdU incorporation. Cell viability and apoptosis are assessed by standard assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine have not been reported in publicly available literature. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for nucleoside analog and photoactivation studies. Future studies in xenograft models or photodynamic therapy models would be needed to evaluate in vivo efficacy.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for 4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine have not been published. The compound has a molecular weight of 244.27 and formula C9H12N2O4S. The thio group may affect metabolic stability and tissue distribution. In vivo PK parameters such as half-life, bioavailability, and tissue distribution have not been characterized.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology data for 4-Thio-2'-deoxyuridine have not been published. The compound is for research use only and not approved for human therapeutic applications. No systematic toxicological evaluation has been performed. Standard safety precautions for handling nucleoside analogs and photoactive compounds should be observed.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
