HIDE SMILES / InChI
ALANOSINE is an antiviral and antitumor antibiotic derived from Streptomyces alanosinicus. It inhibits adenylosuccinate synthetase, which converts inosine monophosphate into adenylosuccinate, an intermediate in purine metabolism. ALANOSINE-induced disruption of de novo purine biosynthesis is potentiated by methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deficiency. In cancer cells that lack MTAP, required in the salvage pathway, ALANOSINE should deprive such cells (but not normal cells) of de novo synthesized adenosine. However, in clinical trials, it was ineffective in patients with advanced MTAP-deficient tumors.
