Bioactivity | 8-Aminoadenosine (8-NH2-Ado), a RNA-directed nucleoside analogue, reduces cellular ATP levels and inhibits mRNA synthesis. 8-Aminoadenosine blocks Akt/mTOR signaling and induces autophagy and apoptosis in a p53-independent manner. 8-Aminoadenosine has antitumor activity[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | 8-Aminoadenosine (8-NH2-Ado; 0.1-10 μM; for 48 h) has IC50s of 1.5 μM and 8.88 μM in MM.1S and U266 cells, respectively[1]. 8-Aminoadenosine (10 μM; for 24 h) induces significant apoptotic death of MCF-7 cells in p53-independent pathway. 8-Aminoadenosine causes PARP cleavage in MCF-7 cells[2]. 8-Aminoadenosine (3 μM; 0.5-4 h) induces autophagy in the MM.1S cell line[1]. 8-Aminoadenosine (3 μM; 2-16 h) causes a greater drop in ATP levels in the MM.1S cells[1]. 8-Aminoadenosine (3 μM; 5 h) causes a 50% reduction in glucose consumption in MM.1S cells[1]. 8-Aminoadenosine (3 μM; 5 h) indicates a time-dependent decrease in GLUT1 expression at 5 h, whereas at 24 h there was a down-regulation of both transporters (GLUT1 and GLUT4) in MM.1S cells[1]. 8-Aminoadenosine inhibits cell proliferation, activated cell death, and does not activate transcription of the p53 target gene p21 or increase protein levels of either p53 or p21[1]. The toxic effects of 8-Aminoadenosine require adenosine kinase activity to convert 8-Aminoadenosine to 8-NH2-ATP in adenosine kinase-deficient cells[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: |
