Application

Adenosine, periodate oxidized has been used:
  • as a methylarginine transferase inhibitor in the human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 T cells
  • as a methylase inhibitor in H4 neuroglioma
  • as a broad inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet)-dependent methyltransferases in mouse embryo fibroblast NIH3T3 cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adenosine, periodate oxidized (Adox) is a protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) inhibitor. It also inhibits the enzyme S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase and induces apoptosis. Its inhibitory effect on histone methyltransferases prevents histone methylation. Adox also elicits intrinsic cytotoxic properties.

Pharmacologic reactivation of fetal hemoglobin expression is a promising strategy for treatment of sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the methyl transferase inhibitor adenosine-2',3'-dialdehyde (Adox) on induction of human fetal

Interphasic chromatin condenses into the chromosomes in order to facilitate the correct segregation of genetic information. It has been previously reported that the phosphorylation and methylation of the N-terminal tail of histone H3 are responsible for chromosome condensation. In this

Trimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3) is known both to be necessary for proper chromosome segregation and to increase in late G2. We investigated the role of late G2 methylation, specifically in mitotic progression, by inhibiting methylation for

The metabolism of homocysteine is influenced by several dietary factors, including folate, cobalamin and possibly also the intake of polyhydroxylated phenolic compounds (polyphenols), which were shown to increase plasma homocysteine (tHcy) concentration. In order to reveal the cause of the

An impaired DNA methylation has been suggested to underlie the complex etiology of neural tube defects (NTDs). Previously, we have demonstrated that inhibition of methylation by periodate oxidized adenosine (Adox) results in a widening of the anterior neuropore (ANP) in
