Biological Activity

[Description]:

Azathioprine-13C4 (BW 57-322-13C4) is the 13C labeled Azathioprine (HY-B0256). Azathioprine (BW 57-322) is an orally active immunosuppressive agent. Azathioprine can be converted in vivo to the active metabolite 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). Azathioprine has myelosuppressive effects and induces apoptosis[1][2][3].
