Formycin A(Cat No.:I017268)is a nucleoside analog with broad-spectrum activity, widely studied in biochemical and pharmaceutical research. Structurally resembling adenosine, it interferes with nucleic acid metabolism, making it a potent inhibitor of purine biosynthesis and RNA-dependent processes. Formycin A exhibits antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer potential by disrupting critical enzymatic activities and replication pathways. It serves as a valuable tool for exploring nucleotide synthesis, enzyme mechanisms, and cellular metabolism. Researchers utilize Formycin A to study purine-related pathways and develop therapeutic strategies for infectious diseases and malignancies.
