3-Deazaadenosine
3-Deazaadenosine (CAS 6736-58-9) is an inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) hydrolase, an enzyme responsible for the reversible hydrolysis of SAH into adenosine and homocysteine. Inhibition of SAH hydrolase by 3-Deazaadenosine (Ki = 3.9 μM) elevates intracellular SAH concentrations, altering the SAH-to-SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) ratio, and consequently suppressing SAM-dependent methyltransferase activities. In vitro studies demonstrate its antiviral activity against Ebola and Marburg viruses in various primate and mouse cell lines. Animal studies indicate protective efficacy against lethal Ebola infection in BALB/c mice. Currently, 3-Deazaadenosine remains in preclinical research.
