Cordycepin is a nucleoside analog originally isolated from C. militaris that has diverse biological activities. Upon entry into cells, it is converted to cordycepin triphosphate, which inhibits ATP-dependent DNA and RNA synthesis. It incorporates into DNA and RNA at internal and terminal positions in SK-HEP-1 cells....

A nucleoside that was first isolated from the cultures of cordyceps militaris. It was found to inhibit Ehrlich mouse ascites tumors. Recent findings suggest cordycepin activates adenosine subtype receptors and simultaneously induce steroidogenesis and apoptosis in MA-10 mouse Leydig tumor cells. It also inhibit...

White to off-white powder. Soluble in water, ethanol or DMSO. Chemical. CAS: 73-03-0. Formula: C10H13N5O3. MW: 251.24. Synthetic. Cordycepin is a nucleoside (adenosine analog) antibiotic that acts as a polyadenylation inhibitor when converted to 3'-deoxyadenosine triphosphate (3'-dATP), which inhibits ATP-dependent...
