Target Validation Information
Target ID T56556
Target Name 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamidoribonucleotide (AICAR) transformylase
Target Type
Successful
Action against Disease Model Sulfasalazine Sulfasalazine induces apoptosis both in Jurkat cells, a h uMan T??leukaemia cell line (ED50 value ???1.0 mM), and in primary h uMan peripheral blood T??lymphocytes (ED50 value ???0.5 mM). In contrast SW620 colon carcinoma cells or primary h uMan synoviocytes are not affected at these concentrations suggesting a cell type??specific sensitivity to sulfasalazine. [552311] Drug Info
