Application

3-Deazaadenosine has been used as a methylation inhibitor:
  • to study the effect of m6A modification on suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) expression in colon cancer cells
  • to study its effects on the expression of influenza A virus (IAV) proteins in human lung epithelial cell line
  • to evaluate its effects on the replication of SV40 virus in BSC40 cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Deazaadenosine (DZA), an analog of adenosine, acts as a blocker of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH)-hydrolase, a regulator of cellular methyltransferase activity. It has been observed in inhibiting some of the factors involved in atherosclerosis and restenosis. DZA inhibits lymphocyte-mediated tumor cell lysis, macrophage phagocytosis, microfilament disorganization, monocyte, and neutrophil chemotaxis. It also inhibits histamine release by basophils, superoxide anion generation, and macrophage lysosomal secretion. DZA possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) properties and inhibitory effects of cytokine expression that include interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) transcription activity.
Possesses antiviral activity inhibitor of leukocyte adhesion to TNF-treated endothelial cells.

S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) is a key regulator of S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation reactions and an interesting pharmacologic target. We cloned the SAHH gene from Plasmodium falciparum (PfSAHH), with an amino acid sequence agreeing with that of the PlasmoDB genomic database. Even though

3-Deazaadenosine (c3Ado) is a potent inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, which regulates cellular methyltransferase activity. In the present study, we sought to determine the effect of c3Ado on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) function and neointima formation in vivo. c3Ado dose-dependently

Severe sepsis is accompanied by a profound depression of myocardial contractility. Leukocyte adhesion with subsequent local excess nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species production play major roles for this deleterious effect. We hypothesized that 3-deazaadenosine (c3Ado), an adenosine analogue with

The accuracy of homocysteine (Hcy) results is currently compromised by the requirement to separate the plasma within 1 h of sample collection. We studied the effect of temperature on the stability of plasma Hcy over a 72-h time course in

Periconceptional folic acid supplementation can reduce the occurrence of neural tube defects. A low folate status will result in reduced remethylation of homocysteine (Hcy) to methionine and, subsequently, in a rise of Hcy levels. Indeed, elevated Hcy concentrations have been
