In accordance with this invention, there are provided 5'-deoxy-5'-substituted adenosines having the formula ##STR1## wherein X is a member selected from the group consisting of NH, NCH.sub.3, S, or ##STR2## n is an integer from 2-4; and Z is a member selected from the group consisting of: ##STR3## provided that when X is NH, S or CH.sub.3 --S .sym., then Z is not ONH.sub.2. These compounds show activity as inhibitors of AdoMet-DC.
根据这一发明,提供了具有以下结构的5'-去氧-5'-取代
腺苷:其中X是从NH、N 、S或n为2-4的整数;Z是从以下组成的成员中选择的:但当X为NH、S或
CH3-S时,Z不是ONH2。这些化合物显示出作为AdoMet-DC
抑制剂的活性。
