12192-57-3 Usage
Description
Aurothioglucose is highly water soluble, and its aqueous solutions decompose on long standing. It therefore is
available as a suspension in sesame oil. Gold content is approximately 50%. Following IM injection, it is highly
protein bound (95%), and peak plasma levels are achieved within 2 to 6 hours. Following a single 50-mg dose, the
biological half-life ranges from 3 to 27 days, but following successive weekly doses, the half-life increases to 14 to
40 days after the third dose. The therapeutic effect does not correlate with serum plasma gold levels but appears to
depend on total accumulated gold. Aurothioglucose is indicated for the adjunctive treatment of adult and juvenile
rheumatoid arthritis.

History
In 1927, aurothioglucose was found to relieve joint pain when used to treat bacterial endocarditis. The area of chrysotherapy had begun. Subsequent investigations led to an extensive study of gold compounds in Great Britain by the Empire Rheumatism Council, which reported in 1961 that sodium aurothiomalate was effective in slowing the development of progressive joint diseases. Both aurothioglucose and sodium aurothiomalate are orally ineffective and are administered by IM injection. In 1985, the first orally effective gold compound for arthritis, auranofin, was introduced in the United States. Several other gold compounds have been evaluated clinically but do not appear to offer advantages in terms of efficacy or toxicity.
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 12192-57-3 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Aurothioglucose hydrate has been used in redox stress survival assay in human cell lines and for inducing obese phenotype in mice.
2. To produce obesity in experimental animals.
Brand name
Solganal (Schering).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Aurothioglucose, a gold compound used clinically to treat rheumatoid arthritis, has recently been found to be a potent PKCiota-Par6 interaction inhibitor, with an IC50 approximately 1 μM. Disruption of this interaction disrupts a rac1 signaling pathway that is required for transformed growth in non-small-cell lung cancer.

Purification Methods
Purify it by dissolving it in H2O (0.05g in 1mL) and precipitating it by adding EtOH. It yields yellow crystals with a slight mercaptan odour. It decomposes slowly in H2O, and is soluble in propylene glycol but insoluble in EtOH and other common organic solvents. [Caterson & Taylor FEBS Lett 98 351 1979, Cooney et al. Biochem J 259 651 1989.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 12192-57-3 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 1,2,1,9 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 12192-57:
(7*1)+(6*2)+(5*1)+(4*9)+(3*2)+(2*5)+(1*7)=83
83 % 10 = 3
So 12192-57-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
