description Product Description
Psicofuranine is primarily known for its role as an antibiotic and antitumor agent. It functions by inhibiting the enzyme xanthosine monophosphate aminase, which is crucial for the synthesis of guanine nucleotides. This inhibition disrupts RNA and DNA synthesis in certain bacteria and cancer cells, making it effective in targeting these cells. Its application has been explored in research settings to study its potential in treating bacterial infections and certain types of cancer. However, its use in clinical practice is limited due to concerns about toxicity and side effects. Despite this, it remains a subject of interest in biochemical and pharmacological studies for its unique mechanism of action.
