2'-Deoxyadenosine monohydrate is an adenine nucleoside that inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin release. 2'-Deoxyadenosine monohydrate inhibits glucose-stimulated increases seen in islet cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation. 2-Deoxyadenosine monohydrate activates caspase-3 and promotes apoptosis. 2-Deoxyadenosine monohydrate inhibits the activity of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH). 2-Deoxyadenosine monohydrate inhibits the growth of various cells. 2-Deoxyadenosine monohydrate has an anticancer effect on colon cancer[1][2][3].
