purine synthesis and GTP-binding protein Rac1 activation inhibitor
Featured Products
Azathioprine (CAS: 446-86-6) is an immunosuppressive prodrug that is metabolized in vivo to 6-mercaptopurine. It interferes with purine synthesis, leading to the inhibition of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, thereby suppressing the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. Azathioprine is widely utilized in biomedical research to study mechanisms of immune modulation, graft rejection, and the pathophysiology of autoimmune diseases. It is utilized in investigating immunosuppressive protocols and immune homeostasis in transplantation and autoimmune disorder models.
