General description

2′,3′-Dideoxyadenosine is a nucleoside analog of deoxyadenosine. On deamination, it is converted to dideoxyinosine. It inhibits adenylyl cyclase and may play a key role in the inhibition of tumor progression. It is a potent inhibitor of reverse transcriptase enzyme of human immunodeficiency virus.

Application

2′,3′-Dideoxyadenosine (ddA), a specific adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, is useful in biological process and pathway studies involving adenylyl cyclase activity and cAMP pool modulation.
