Description

6-Azathymine, a 6-nitrogen analog of thymine, is a potent D-3-aminoisobutyrate-pyruvate aminotransferase inhibitor. 6-Azathymine inhibits the biosynthesis of DNA, and has antibacterial and antiviral activities[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

6-Azathymine is a competitive antagonist of the growth of Streptococcus faecalis (8043) and several other strains of microorganisms. Studies of the mechanism of action of 6-Azathymine reveal that S. faecalis can convert the analog to the corresponding deoxyriboside, azathymidine[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

The administration of 6-Azathymine to the mouse leads to the urinary elimination not only of free Azathymine, but also of various metabolites of it. Following the administration of 6-Azathymine-5-14C to mice, radioactivity is found in all tissues investigated, not only in the form of free Azathymine, but also as metabolic derivatives[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
