Lenalidomide-d5

Biological Activity

Lenalidomide-d5 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of lenalidomide by GC- or LC-MS. Lenalidomide is related to thalidomide and, at 10 μM, alters gene expression and cell viability in a range of cancer cell lines.1 It also induces proliferation and enhances the functional capacity of T lymphocytes, amplifying co-stimulatory signaling pathways.2 Lenalidomide is effective in hematologic cancers, including lymphomas and myelomas.3,4
