Tubercidin is a toxic adenosine analog with antiviral, antitrypanosomal, and antifungal functions. It inhibits multiple metabolic processes, including RNA processing, nucleic acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and methylation of tRNA through intracellular incorporation into nucleic acids. It acts as a plant antifungal, inhibits mammalian SAHH (SAH hydrolase), and blocks purine biosynthesis in Candida famata.
