Использование

S-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine is a nucleoside analog and an inhibitor of the human equilibrative nucleoside transporter (hENT1) (1,2,3). Nucleoside transporter inhibitors are useful compounds to investigate anticancer, antiviral, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective agents.

Общее описание

S-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-6-thioinosine (NBTI) belongs to the family of S⁶-substituted 6-thiopurine nucleosides, which regulate nucleoside transport mechanisms in animals. It acts as a ligand of adenosine transporter. Binding sites for NBTI is located on brain capillaries. It functions as a covalent photoaffinity probe for nucleoside transport.

Биологическая активность

Equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) inhibitor (K i values are 0.4 and 2800 nM for hENT1 and hENT2 respectively).
