A quinolinecarboxylic acid derivative with immunosuppressive and anti-neoplastic properties. Inhibits pyrimidine synthesis by blocking the activity of mammalian mitochondrial dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH; IC50 = 12nM). Does not affect DHODH in non-mammalian species. Also reported to inhibit glycosylation of adhesion molecules. Potentiates the sensitivity of U1690 small cell lung cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis and synergistically enhances the anti-tumor effects of doxorubicin ( ~100uM).
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C. Do not freeze. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
