Description and Uses
Cordycepin (73-03-0) is an adenosine analog lacking the hydroxyl at the 3’ position. Inhibits PARP1?and polyadenylation2. Displays anti-inflammatory effects1,3?and neuroprotective effects by inhibiting Aβ-induced apoptosis in hippocampal neurons4. Induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cell lines5. Displays antiobesity effects.6?Inhibits cell senescence via activation of AMPK.7?Maintains stem cell pluripotency and increases iPS cell generation efficiency.8
First reported nucleoside antibiotic.
