Cladribine (2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine, CdA) is a purine nucleoside analog with activity against lymphoproliferative and autoimmune disorders. 2-Chloro-2'-arabino-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine (CAFdA), a derivative of CdA with better acid stability, shows a similar in vitro spectrum of activity as CdA. 2-Chloroadenine (CAde) is the major

Cladribine (2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine) was synthesized using intact cells of the recombinant Escherichia coli strain producing Geobacillus stearothermophilus B-2194 thermostable purine-nucleoside phosphorylase II (EC 2.4.2.1). Use of the cells containing this thermostable enzyme allowed the process to be conducted at a temperature

2-Chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine triphosphate, a purine nucleotide analogue and potent antileukaemic agent, was incorporated into double-stranded 36-mers in place of dATP to investigate the effects of 2-chloroadenine (ClAde) on DNA polymerase-associated 3'-->5' exonuclease activity. ClAde residues within one strand of duplex DNA
Multiple lines of investigations have explored the role of cyclooxygenases (COX) in epilepsy and related neuropsychiatric disorders. Cyclooxygenase particularly, COX-2 expression was found to increase in brain during seizure paradigms. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect
By utilization of polymerase chain reaction techniques, single-stranded DNA of defined length and sequence containing a purine analog, 2-chloroadenine, in place of adenine was synthesized. This was accomplished by a combination of standard polymerase chain amplification reactions with Thermus aquaticus
