Cordycepin is a known polyadenylation inhibitor with a large spectrum of biological activities, including anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects. Can be converted to 3'-deoxyadenosine triphosphate (3'-dATP), which inhibits ATP-dependent DNA synthesis. Also acts as an AMPK activator and Akt inhibitor.Solubility:DMSO (~100mM)Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C.
