8-Chloroadenosine

8-Chloroadenosine (NSC-354258) is a 5' AMP-activated protein kinase agonist potentially for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. 8-chloroadenosine activity is associated with inhibition of the mTOR pathway.8-Chloroadenosine (NSC-354258) is a nucleoside analog; metabolized in vivo to 8-Chloro-ATP. Incorporates into RNA during transcription and inhibits RNA synthesis. Exhibits cytotoxicity in MM.1S, RPMI-8226, and U266 cancer cell lines; induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and mitotic catastrophe in A549 and H1299 cells. 8-Chloroadenosine (NSC-354258) has been shown to deplete ATP and inhibit tumor growth in hematological malignancies as well as in lung and breast cancer cell lines.
