ADK Inhibitors

ADK inhibitors, as a chemical class, encompass a range of compounds that indirectly modulate the enzymatic activity of adenosine kinase. These compounds primarily exert their influence through alterations in nucleotide metabolism, adenosine levels, or related signaling pathways. For instance, AICAR and compounds like Methotrexate and Mycophenolic Acid affect purine metabolism, which is intricately linked to the balance of adenine nucleotides. By influencing the synthesis and degradation pathways of these nucleotides, these compounds can indirectly affect the availability of adenosine, the substrate for ADK, thereby modulating its activity. Compounds such as Dipyridamole and Theophylline, which increase extracellular and intracellular adenosine levels respectively, present another mechanism by which ADK activity can be influenced. Increased adenosine levels due to inhibited reuptake or enhanced cAMP breakdown can saturate ADK, leading to a functional inhibition. Furthermore, PPAR agonists like Clofibric Acid and Rosiglitazone, by modulating lipid and nucleotide metabolism, can create a cellular environment that indirectly impacts ADK activity. Allopurinol and Azathioprine, acting on different aspects of purine metabolism, also contribute to the modulation of ADK activity by altering the purine nucleotide pools. Lastly, Fludarabine, by affecting deoxyribonucleotide synthesis, can influence the balance of nucleotides, indirectly affecting ADK.
