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.

Equilibrium binding isotherms have been measured as a function of temperature for the interaction of 2- and 8-aminoadenosine with poly(U) by continuous, constant-volume ultrafiltration. An analytical method is described for determining the entire isotherm in a single experiment on a

To determine if RNA-directed nucleoside analogue, 8-NH(2)-adenosine, induces cell death and if that is accompanied with transcription inhibition of the key survival factors of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells. Primary lymphocytes from CLL patients were incubated with 10 micromol/L 8-NH(2)-adenosine

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 is a slowly proliferating B-cell malignancy that accumulates apoptosis-resistant and replication-quiescent cell populations, posing a challenge for current chemotherapeutics that target rapidly replicating cells. Multiple myeloma remains an incurable disease in need of new therapeutic approaches. The purine
