CAS 69-33-0: Tubercidin

7-Deazaadenosine is a chemical compound used as an antibiotic for culture media, which is a synthetic nucleoside analog derived from adenosine. Its structure is modified by replacing a nitrogen atom in the purine ring with a carbon atom, thus altering its biological interactions. The primary mode of action of 7-Deazaadenosine involves its incorporation into nucleic acids, where it acts as an inhibitor of nucleic acid-processing enzymes. This interference can effectively impede processes like DNA and RNA synthesis. 7-Deazaadenosine is particularly valuable in scientific research focused on elucidating the mechanisms of nucleic acid metabolism and regulation. By incorporating this compound into culture media, researchers can investigate the effects of nucleoside modification on cellular processes and develop insights into enzyme specificity and function. The targeted disruption of nucleic acid synthesis makes 7-Deazaadenosine a powerful tool in molecular biology and genetics studies, where precise manipulation of nucleic acid dynamics is required.
