Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)

ln Vitro

6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine; 2-Amino-6-purinethiol) is an anti-leukemia and immunosuppressant agent, acts as an inhibitor of SARS and MERS coronavirus papin-like proteases (PLpros) and also potently inhibits USP2 activity, with IC50s of 25 μM and 40 μM for Plpros and recombinant human USP2, respectively[1]. 6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine) impacts the methylation of cytosine residues by purified DNA methyltransferases including human DNMT1 and bacterial HpaII methylase. 6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine) (1 or 3 μM) lowers global cytosine methylation in Jurkat T cells and cytosine methylation in human cells at 3 μM[2]. 6-Thioguanine (Thioguanine) (18.75, 37.50, or 75.00 μM) significantly impacts cell viability, but with no effect on LDH or ALT activity[3].

ln Vivo

Thioguanine is as efficient as a PARP inhibitor in selectively killing BRCA2-defective tumors in a xenograft model. 6-Thioguanine efficiently kills such BRCA1-defective PARP inhibitor-resistant tumors. 6-Thioguanine could kill cells and tumors that have gained resistance to PARP inhibitors or cisplatin through genetic reversion of the BRCA2 gene

Solubility Data

Solubility (In Vitro)	DMSO : ~10 mg/mL (~59.81 mM)

Preparing Stock Solutions		1 mg	5 mg	10 mg
	1 mM	5.9812 mL	29.9061 mL	59.8122 mL
	5 mM	1.1962 mL	5.9812 mL	11.9624 mL
	10 mM	0.5981 mL	2.9906 mL	5.9812 mL

*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.

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

See Example

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)
Click the “Calculate” button
The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:

Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.

Biological Data

Time-dependent inactivation of USP2 by 6TG. (A) Different concentrations of 6TG (0 μM, closed circles; 10–100 μM, open circles) were incubated with USP2 and enzyme activity was measured for 200 s. Across all trials, Ub-AFC concentration was held at 0.5 μM and USP2 concentration was held at 0.2 μM. The solid lines show the best fit results when the data was fitted to the slow-binding equation. (B) The observed inactivation rate constants (kinact) from panel A were replotted against 6TG concentrations. The solid line represents the best fit of the data to the saturation equation. The apparent Kinact value is shown in Table 1.

Comparison with other structures of human USP2. Overlay of the active site of human USP2-Ub complex (grey; PDB code: 2hd5) with that of USP2-Ub-6TG complex (USP2: cyan; Ub: yellow; 6TG: orange) (A) or that of USP2 C276S mutant (green) in complex with Ub (magenta) (B). The dashed lines show hydrophilic interactions. The arrow in panel (A) indicates the movement of residue Asp575, while that in panel (B) shows the side-chain movement of residue 276, which has been mutated from cysteine to serine.

6-Thioguanine treatment results in decreased cytosine methylation in human cells. Plotted are the percentages of global cytosine methylation in genomic DNA isolated from Jurkat T cells that were untreated or treated with SG or 5-aza-dC. The data represent the means and standard deviations of results from three independent drug treatments and HPLC measurements. The P values were calculated by using paired t-test.
