Synergistic inhibition of platelet aggregation by forskolin plus PGE1 or 2-fluoroadenosine: effects of 2',5'-dideoxyadenosine and 5'-methylthioadenosine.
5'-Deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is involved in the salvage of adenine and methylthio moieties of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine, a byproduct of polyamine synthesis, to adenine nucleotides and methionine, respectively. The gene encoding MTAP, MTAP, is frequently codeleted along with the tumor suppressor gene

Many fluorinated analogues of adenosine nucleoside have been synthesized and studied as potential antitumor and antiviral agents. Earlier, we reported radiosynthesis of 2'-deoxy-2'-[(18)F]fluoro-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-adenine ([(18)F]-FAA) and 3'-deoxy-3'-[(18)F]fluoro-1-beta-d-xylofuranosyl-adenine ([(18)F]FXA). Now, we report their in vivo studies including blood clearance, biodistribution and micro-PET

Emerging flaviviruses are causative agents of severe and life-threatening diseases, against which no approved therapies are available. Among the nucleoside analogues, which represent a promising group of potentially therapeutic compounds, fluorine-substituted nucleosides are characterized by unique structural and functional properties.

Transport and phosphorylation of 2-fluoroadenosine (F-AR) were studied in human erythrocytes and porcine aortic endothelial cells by 19F-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. F-AR (590 microM) added to a human erythrocyte suspension (15% hematocrit) was rapidly incorporated into adenine nucleotides at
