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.

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

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of clonal B-cells that accounts for 10% of all hematologic malignancies. We have shown previously that a novel purine analogue, 8-chloro-adenosine, has significant activity for MM in preclinical studies. Using MM cell lines, we
