8-NH2-ATP is an inactive derivative of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), synthesized from 8-NH2-Ado. It has been documented that 8-NH2-Ado exhibits potent properties, as evidenced by its ability to induce apoptosis-associated cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase.
8-Aminoadenosine (8-NH2-Ado) is an RNA-directed nucleoside analogue that effectively diminishes cellular ATP levels and impedes mRNA synthesis. Furthermore, it effectively obstructs Akt mTOR signaling, inducing autophagy and apoptosis in a p53-independent manner. Its significant antitumor activity further highlights its therapeutic potential.
