Product Information

• Name: 7-Deazaadenosine, Antibiotic for Culture Media Use Only
• Synonyms: Tubercidin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 7-Deazaadenosine is a chemical compound used as an antibiotic for culture media, which is a synthetic nucleoside analog derived from adenosine. Its structure is modified by replacing a nitrogen atom in the purine ring with a carbon atom, thus altering its biological interactions. The primary mode of action of 7-Deazaadenosine involves its incorporation into nucleic acids, where it acts as an inhibitor of nucleic acid-processing enzymes. This interference can effectively impede processes like DNA and RNA synthesis.
