Dideoxy Adenosine (Didanosine EP Impurity G) is a potent anti-HIV agent.
2′,3′-Dideoxyadenosine (ddA), a specific adenylyl cyclase inhibitor, is useful in biological process and pathway studies involving adenylyl cyclase activity and cAMP pool modulation.
A potent labelled anti-HIV agent.
ChEBI: A purine 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside in which the nucleobase component is specified as adenine.
Dideoxyadenosine may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light.
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to a related compound include cutaneous eruptions, fever, mouth sores, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, reversible peripheral neuropathy, gastrointestinal distress, headache, nausea and vomiting.
