Azaserine

Description:

Azaserine is a synthetic compound classified as an antibiotic and an antimetabolite, primarily known for its role in cancer research and as a tool in biochemical studies. It is a pyrimidine analog that inhibits the enzyme glutamine amidotransferase, which is crucial in nucleotide synthesis, thereby interfering with DNA and RNA synthesis. This mechanism makes azaserine particularly valuable in studying cellular processes and the effects of nucleotide depletion. The compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in water and various organic solvents. Azaserine has been utilized in laboratory settings to explore its effects on cell growth and differentiation, especially in relation to tumor cells. However, due to its potent biological activity, it must be handled with care, as it can exhibit cytotoxic effects. Its use is primarily restricted to research applications, and it is not approved for therapeutic use in humans. Overall, azaserine serves as an important compound in the field of cancer research and biochemistry.

Azaserine

CAS: 115-02-6

Glutamine analogue and antagonist of glutamine-dependent amidotransferases, with antibiotic and antifungal properties. Inhibits purine biosynthesis, FGAM synthetase and glucosamine-6-phosphate isomerase that contributes to its antineoplastic property. Azaserine can also act as a carcinogen, by inducing DNA carboxymethylation. Protects endothelial cells from inflammation under hyperglycemic conditions, via antioxidant mechanisms, independent of hexosamine biosynthetic pathway.
