Arabinoadenosine has been studied as one of the candidates for antitumor drugs. It has anticancer activity and may play a role by inhibiting the growth and proliferation of tumor cells. Its anti-tumor mechanism may involve the interference of DNA and RNA, as well as the immunomodulatory effect on tumor cells.
Antiviral drugs:
Arabinoadenosine shows certain antiviral activity. It can inhibit some viruses, such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Therefore, it may have potential application value in the development of antiviral drugs and vaccines.
Chemical synthesis intermediates:
Arabinoadenosine can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It plays an important role in the synthesis of drugs, natural products and other organic chemical reactions. Through the modification and functionalization of its structure, compounds with specific activities and properties can be generated.
