m-APTA (5'-S-(3-aminophenyl)-5'-thioadenosine) is a selective chemoprotective agent targeting methylthioadenosine phosphorylase ( MTAP ). m-APTA can be converted into adenine, which is a crucial step in protecting normal cells from the toxicity of nucleobase analogues (NBA). m-APTA is promising for research of MTAP-deficient cancers [1].
