Tubercidin is an adenosine analog with potent antimycobacterial and antitumor bioactivities[1]. Tubercidin inhibits the replication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) through the RIG-I/NF-κB pathway and interferes with the expression of the viral non-structural protein 2 and viral dsRNA synthesis[2]. Tubercidin has been widely used to suppress Phytophthora capsica and control phytophthora blight in pepper plants[3].
In vitro, Tubercidin treatment for 48 hours significantly inhibited the viability of A549, HST116, and A375 cells, with IC50 values of 0.044µM, 0.082µM, and 0.043µM, respectively[4]. Treatment with 0.014µM Tubercidin for 48h dramatically inhibited the proliferation of Jurkat cells[5]. Under serum starvation or hypoxia stress, treatment with 5μg/ml Tubercidin for 6 hours significantly promoted apoptosis of HL-1 cells and exacerbated the destruction of nuclear speckles[6].
In vivo, Tubercidin treatment via subcutaneous injection at a dose of 5mg/kg, three times per week for 3 weeks, significantly inhibited the growth of DMS 114 xenograft tumors in mice[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
A549 cells |
|
Preparation Method |
A549 cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2mM glutamine, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37°C in 5% CO2/atmosphere. A549 cells were seeded onto 96-well microplates (5×104 cells/well) and cultured overnight. The cells were treated with different concentrations of Tubercidin (0, 0.0003, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10µM). After 48h of incubation, cell viability was assessed. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0, 0.0003, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10µM; 48h |
|
Applications |
Tubercidin treatment reduced the cell viability of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
Nude mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Nude mice (6-weeks old) were housed under controlled temperature (21-23°C), humidity (30-35%) and light cycle (7:00 AM to 7:00 PM) and maintained on a standard rodent diet. 6×105 DMS 114 cells in 50µl PBS plus 50µl growth factor-depleted matrigel were injected subcutaneously into the flank of nude mice. When tumors reached 8-10mm in diameter (about 1.5 weeks), the mice were randomly separated into different groups (4 mice per group) and received in situ subcutaneous injection with either vehicle, Tubercidin (5mg/kg), 3 times a week. The mice were observed and weighed every 2-3 days for the size of palpable tumors for an additional 3 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the tumors were excised and compared. |

Dosage form |
5mg/kg; 3 times a week; 3 weeks; s.c. |
|
Applications |
Tubercidin treatment significantly inhibited tumor growth in mice with DMS 114 xenografts. |
