8-Chloroadenosine

Description

8-Chloroadenosine is a nucleoside analog; metabolized in vivo to 8-Chloro-ATP. Incorporates into RNA during transcription and inhibits RNA synthesis. Exhibits cytotoxicity in MM.1S, RPMI-8226 and U266 cancer cell lines; induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and mitotic catastrophe in A549 and H1299 cells.

The Uses of 8-Chloroadenosine

8-Chloroadenosine (cas# 34408-14-5) is a useful research chemical.8-Chloroadenosine is an analog of adenosine which depletes ATP and inhibits tumor growth in hematological malignancies as well as in lung and breast cancer cell lines.

What are the applications of Application

8-Chloroadenosine is a cytotoxic metabolite of 8-Cl-cAMP

Biological Activity

8-Chloroadenosine (8-Cl-Ado), an adenosine analog, is a potential antitumor drug that is currently in phase-I clinical trials for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It has been reported that 8-Cl-Ado inhibits cancer cell growth and induces apoptosis in Granta, JeKo, Mino, and SP-53 MCL cell lines by inhibition of both DNA and RNA syntheses. In addition, 8-Cl-Ado induces autophagy in primary CLL cells5 and in MCF-7 and BT-474 breast cancer cells6. Research has shown that 8-Cl-Ado inhibits the proliferation and migration of SK-BR-3, MDA-MB-231, and MCF-7 breast cancer cells by targeting the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1[1].
