Forodesine（Cat No.:I002612）is a potent purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of hematologic malignancies such as T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). By inhibiting PNP, Forodesine disrupts the purine salvage pathway, leading to the accumulation of toxic deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) in T-cells, which induces apoptosis. This targeted mechanism selectively affects malignant T-cells while sparing normal cells, making Forodesine a promising therapeutic agent. Its efficacy and specificity offer hope for improved outcomes in patients with refractory or relapsed T-cell cancers.
