2-AMINO-5-BROMO-4-HYDROXY-6-PHENYLPYRIMIDINE

Description

Bropirimine is an immunomodulator with diverse biological activities. It is a toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist that inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) in a concentration-dependent manner, an effect that is reversed by an anti-IFN-β antibody. Dietary administration of bropirimine (200 mg/kg twice per week) prevents development of transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) in a mouse model of carcinogen-induced bladder carcinoma. Bropirimine (100 mg/kg) reduces pulmonary collagen accumulation and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) monocyte and eosinophil infiltration in a hamster model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis. It also delays disease onset and progression and increases plasma IFN levels in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

The Uses of 2-AMINO-5-BROMO-4-HYDROXY-6-PHENYLPYRIMIDINE

Bropirimine is an orally active immunostimulant; anticancer agent. Bropirimine is an interferon inducer that is a potentially useful in the the treatment of superficial bladder cancer (transitional cell carcinoma). Studies suggest that Bropirimine has direct antitumor activity rather than a cytokine-mediated antitumor effect.

The Uses of 2-AMINO-5-BROMO-4-HYDROXY-6-PHENYLPYRIMIDINE

Bropirimine, an immunostimulating agent and toll like receptor (TLR7) agonist, is used in comparison with other TLR7 agonists such as imiquimod, R-848, loxoribine in interferon cell signaling research. Bropirimine may be used in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and bladder cancer research.
