Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Nebularine is a purine ribonucleoside and an adenosine analog that has been found in L. nebularis and has diverse biological activities. It reduces herpes simplex virus 1 viral plaque formation in Vero cells and is active against M. phlei, M. avium, M. tuberculosis, and B. abortus. Nebularine is cytotoxic to COS-7 cells and induces pyknosis in mouse sarcoma 180 cells and mouse embryonic skin explants in a concentration-dependent manner. It inhibits root growth of wheat seedlings when used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 2 mM.2 Nebularine also inhibits adenosine deaminase.

Product Data
Biological target:
Nebularine is a purine ribonucleoside and an adenosine analog.
In vitro activity:
Nebularine showed mild antifungal activity against Magnaphorthe grisea and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and phenylacetic acid potently inhibited the growth of Pythium ultiumand displayed moderate antifungal activity against Magnaphorthe grisea, Botrytis cinerea, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Reference: Mycobiology. 2008 Jun;36(2):110-3. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23990744/
In vivo activity:
When mice bearing leukemia L1010 were treated with a potentially lethal regimen of nebularine administered together with NBMPR-P, a substantial kill of leukemic cells resulted (some mice were long-term survivors). The therapeutic effect was optimal at dosage levels of the protecting agent in excess of those required in nonleukemic mice for protection against the lethal nebularine dosages used, suggesting that the therapeutic effect was due to the joint presence in the leukemic cells of a metabolite of NBMPR-P and nebularine; NBMPR-P protection of the leukemic host against nebularine lethality was necessary for the therapeutic effect to be manifested.
