Description

General description

Chemical structure: nucleoside

Formycin A is an adenosine analog, and is cytotoxic in nature. It acts as a substrate for the human enzymes human erythrocytic adenosine deaminase and adenosine kinase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Formycin A (FA) is a C-nucleoside that inhibits the E.coli enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP).

Formycin A (FA) is a C-nucleoside that inhibits the E.coli enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP). FA was found to upsurge insulin release elevated by glucose, and was also shown to inhibit 5′-Methylthioadenosine/S-adenosylhomocysteine (MTA/AdoHcy) nucleosidase, an enzyme important in the recycling of methionine. Research has shown FA is an antiretroviral agent against HIV-1, targeting reverse transcription.

Formycin A possess antitumor function, along with its antibacterial and antiviral activity.
