Cordycepin, or 3'-deoxyadenosine, is a derivative of the nucleoside adenosine, differing from the latter by the absence of the hydroxy group in the 3' position of its ribose part. Cytostatic effect of cordycepin is due to incorporation of phospho-cordycepin into mRNA and inhibition of mRNA synthesis. Cordycepin exhibit rapid antidepressant effect due to potentiation of AMPA receptors
