Biochem/physiol Actions

8-Aminoadenosine, a ribose nucleoside, reduces cellular ATP levels and inhibits mRNA synthesis. 8-Aminoadenosine also inhibits transcription and polyadenylation. 8-Aminoadenosine potently inhibits varies breast cancer cell lines proliferation and activates cell death independent of p53. 8-NH2-Ado is highly cytotoxic to other cancer cell lines.
8-Aminoadenosine, a transcription inhibitor, reduces cellular ATP levels and inhibits mRNA synthesis.

Roscovitine and flavopiridol suppress cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) and CDK9 activity resulting in transcription inhibition, thus providing an alternative mechanism to traditional genotoxic chemotherapy. These agents have been effective in slow or nonreplicative cell types. 8-Amino-adenosine is a transcription inhibitor

Survival of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells is dependent on BCR-ABL kinase, the activity of which is contingent on the level of BCR-ABL protein and the availability of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). We hypothesized that 8-amino-adenosine (8-amino-Ado)-mediated reduction in cellular ATP

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of clonal B-cells that accounts for 10% of all hematologic malignancies. We have shown previously that a novel purine analogue, 8-chloro-adenosine, has significant activity for MM in preclinical studies. Using MM cell lines, we
