Product Description

Furamidine 2HCl, the dihydrochloride salt of Furamidine, is an abisbenzamidine analog and an antiparasite agent. It actis as an inhibitor of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1). Furamidine is also a competitive tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP-1) inhibitor.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Nitrofuranzidine dihydrochloride (Compound 1; 20 μM; 72 hours; white cell lines) suppresses the proliferation of most white cell lines [1], with the exception of JAK2V617F HEL cells. The expression level of methylated GFP-ALY protein in 293T cells was considerably lowered after 15 hours of treatment with nitrofuranzidine (20 μM) dihydrochloride [1]. It is also possible to inject furosidine hydrochloride in between the GC base pairs of double-stranded DNA. Therefore, TDP and other enzymes involved in DNA processing may be affected by nitrofuranzidine hydrochloride.
ln Vivo
Nitrofuranzidine (1 mg/kg; i.p.; three times weekly, every 4 weeks; for 34 weeks; female NZB/NZW mice) dihydrochloride and irinotecan, when combined, decreased proteinuria. Prolonged NZB/combination treatment does not change anti-dsDNA antibody levels in lupus-prone persons [3].
Cell Assay

Western Blot Analysis [1]
Cell Types: 293T cells
Tested Concentrations: 20 μM
Incubation Duration: 15 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: The expression level of methylated GFP-ALY protein was Dramatically diminished.
Animal Protocol

Doses: 1 mg/kg
Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; 3 times a week, repeated every 4 weeks ; Lasts 34 weeks

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.31 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button

Biological Data
  • Inhibition of Tdp1 activity by furamidine. (A) Schematic representation of the Tdp1 biochemical assays. The partially duplex oligopeptide D14Y or single-stranded 14Y were used as substrates. 32P-Radiolabeling (*) was at the 5′ terminus of the 14-mer strand. Tdp1 catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 3′-phosphotyrosine bond and converts 14Y and D14Y to an oligonucleotide with 3′-phosphate, 14P or D14P, respectively. (B) Representative gel showing Tdp1 inhibition by furamidine with single strand (14Y) and partially duplex (D14Y) substrates. Reactions were performed at 25°C for 20 min. Arrows indicate the 3′-phosphate oligonucleotide product (14P) that runs quicker than the corresponding tyrosyl oligonucleotide substrate (14Y) in a denaturing PAGE (18). The duplex D14Y substrate and D14P product are detected on the gel by their corresponding labeled single strands (14Y and 14P), as they are no longer annealed under the denatured conditions. (C) Densitometry analysis of the gel shown in panel B. Tdp1 activity was calculated as the percentage of 14Y converted to 14P as a function of the concentration of furamidine. The horizontal line corresponds to 50% inhibition of Tdp1 activity.[2]. Antony S, et al.

  • Inhibition of Tdp1 by furamidine is independent of the presence of thymidines at the 3′-end of the substrate. (A) Sequences of the oligonucletotide substrates 14Y and 14Y-CC, which differ in their 3′-terminal bases (–TT or –CC) linked to the phosphotyrosine. (B) Reactions (100 µl) containing either 25 nM 14Y or 14Y-CC and 5 ng of Tdp1 were incubated at 25°C. Aliquots were taken at the indicated times (min). Reaction products were analyzed by denaturing PAGE. (C) Densitometry analysis of the gel shown in B. Tdp1 activity measured as the percentage of DNA substrates 14Y-CC (left panel) or 14Y (right panel) converted to their corresponding products as a function of reaction time. (D) Reactions (20 µl) containing 25 nM 14Y or 14Y-CC and 1 ng Tdp1 were carried out in the presence of indicated concentrations (µM) of furamidine at 25°C, pH 8, for 20 min. A representative gel is shown. (E) Densitometry analysis of the gel shown in D. Tdp1 activity was calculated as the percentage of DNA substrates 14Y or 14Y-CC converted to their product. The horizontal line corresponds to 50% inhibition of Tdp1 activity.[2]. Antony S, et al.

  • Binding of furamidine to a 495 response units surface of a stem-loop duplex oligonucleotide (A) and 504 response units surface of a single-stranded oligonucleotide (B). The equilibrium level of binding was determined for each furamidine concentration for the duplex oligonucleotide (C) or the single-stranded oligonucleotides (D). The graphs represent a fit using a two binding-site model for the stem-loop duplex oligonucleotide (C) or a single binding-site model for the single-stranded oligonucleotide (D). Twofold increments of furamidine concentration (0.097, 0.19, 0.39, 0.78, 1.56, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5 and 25 µM) were used.[2]. Antony S, et al.
