Cordycepin (3-Deoxyadenosine) is a nucleoside derivative and inhibits IL-1β-induced MMP-1 and MMP-3 expression in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) in a dose-dependent manner. Cordycepin kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis through hijacking the bacterial adenosine kinase.

体外研究(In Vitro)
Cordycepin is a potent inhibitor of IL-1β-induced chemokine production and MMP expression and strongly blocks the p38/JNK/AP-1 signalling pathway in RASFs. The effect of Cordycepin on cellular toxicity of RASFs is assessed using MTT assay. Treatment of RASFs with Cordycepin (50 μM or 100 μM) for 24 h does not cause any significant change in cell viability. However, cell viability is slightly decreased when cells are incubated with 100 μM Cordycepin for 48 h.Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
