The Effects of Forodesine in Murine and Human Multiple Myeloma Cells by Liesbeth Bieghs, Jo Caers, Elke De Bruyne, Els Van Valckenborgh, Fiona Higginbotham, Karin Vanderkerken, Eline Menu

“…Recently forodesine, a purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitor, was found to induce apoptosis in leukemic cells of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients by increasing the dGTP levels. We therefore tested whether forodesine was able to inhibit proliferation and/or induce apoptosis in both murine and human MM cells through a similar pathway. …”
