General description
2′,3′-Dideoxyadenosine is a nucleoside analog
of deoxyadenosine. On deamination, it is converted to dideoxyinosine. It
inhibits adenylyl cyclase and may play a key role in the inhibition of tumor
progression. It is a potent inhibitor of reverse transcriptase enzyme of human
immunodeficiency virus.
Application
2′,3′-Dideoxyadenosine (ddA), a specific
adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, is useful in biological process and pathway studies
involving adenylyl cyclase activity and cAMP pool modulation.
2',3'-Dideoxyadenosine is an inhibitor of HIV replication.
Antiretroviral activity. Antiviral efficacy.
