3-Deazaadenosine (hydrochloride)

3-Deazaadenosine (hydrochloride) is an inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, with a K_i of 3.9 μM; 3-Deazaadenosine has anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-HIV activity. IC50 & Target:IC50: 0.15 (HIV-1, A012 isolate), 0.20 µM (HIV-1, A018 isolate)^[1]
Ki: 3.9 µM (S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase)^[1] In Vitro:3-Deazaadenosine is an inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, with a K_i of 3.9 μM. 3-Deazaadenosine shows anti-HIV effect, and inhibits p24 antigen in peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs) cells infected with HIV-1 isolates (A012 and A018) with IC₅₀s of 0.15 and 0.20 μM, respectively^[1].
3-Deazaadenosine (1-100 μM) inhibits LPS-induced expression of TNF-α mRNA, increases DNA binding activity of NF-κB, and causes proteolytic degradation of IκBα, but Not IκBβ in RAW 264.7 cells. 3-Deazaadenosine (100 μM) enhances nuclear translocation of NF-κB, but blocks LPS-induced NF-κB transcriptional activity, and such inhibition is augmented by the addition of homocysteine^[2]. 3-Deazaadenosine (50, 100 μM) dose-dependently inhibits the phosphorylation of Raf and ERK, protein-dependent kinase 1, protein kinase B (Akt), and forkhead transcription factor FoxO1a. 3-Deazaadenosine (50 μM) suppresses vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation via interfering with Ras signaling^[3].
