Bioactivity | 5'-Methylthioadenosine (5'-(Methylthio)-5'-deoxyadenosine) is a nucleoside generated from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) during polyamine synthesis[1]. 5'-Methylthioadenosine suppresses tumors by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and the induction of apoptosis while controlling the inflammatory micro-environments of tumor tissue. 5'-Methylthioadenosine and its associated materials have striking regulatory effects on tumorigenesis[2]. |
Invitro | 5'-Methylthioadenosine protects MTAP+ cells significantly better than MTAP− cells from 6TG (6′-thioguanine) toxicity[3]. Cell Viability Assay[3] Cell Line: |
