General description
Cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine) is a cytotoxic adenosine analog and a bioactive agent extracted from Cordyceps militaris. Cordycepin 5′-triphosphate is a toxic derivative of cordycepin.
Application
Cordycepin 5′-triphosphate sodium salt has been used:
- as a transcriptional inhibitor in RNA decay assay
- to inhibit polyadenylation in HEK293T cells before harvesting for in- vitro interaction studies through co-immunoprecipitation (co-Ips)
- as a positive control in in vitro assays for polymerase inhibition
- as a precursor to produce cordycepin monophosphate
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cordycepin 5′-triphosphate is incorporated into nucleic acid by poly(A) polymerase. Because it lacks a 3′-hydroxyl group chain production it can be used for 3′-end labeling of RNA.
Cordycepin exhibits various metabolic effects by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in humans. Cordycepin triphosphate inhibits picornavirus polymerase-specific RNA synthesis by blocking in vitro [3H]GMP incorporation. It also retards cell growth by inhibiting RNA synthesis.
