Adenosine deaminase

3’-O-Methyladenosine is an antiviral compound with inhibitory activity against West Nile Virus and can be used for the treatment of viral infections.3’-O-Methyladenosine inhibits adenosine deaminase type VII with a Ki value of 493 µM.

Pentostatin (CI-825) is an extremely effective and irreversible inhibitor of adenosine deaminase (Ki: 2.5 pM).

Hibifolin is a flavonol glycoside natural product,is a potential inhibitor of adenosine deaminase (Ki of 49.92 μM). Hibifolin protects neurons against beta-amyloid-induced neurotoxicity.

Cladribine (2CdA), an adenosine deaminase inhibitor, is utilized in the treatment of lymphoproliferative diseases.

Erdosteine (RV 144) is a homocysteine-derived thiol derivative with mucolytic and free radical scavenging properties. Erdosteine and its metabolites modulate mucus production and viscosity, by which facilitating mucociliary transport and improving expectoration. This agent also suppresses the chemical-induced cough reflex as well as protects lung tissues from damages caused by cigarette smoking mediated through free radicals scavenging.

8-Azaadenosine, a powerful ADAR1 (ADAR1) and A-to-I editing inhibitor, effectively blocks RNA editing and suppresses proliferation, 3D growth, invasion, and migration in thyroid cancer cells.
