Cordycepin (CAS#73-03-0)
Cordycepin is an adenosine analog characterized by the absence of a hydroxyl group at the 3′ position. It has been shown to inhibit PARP1 and interfere with polyadenylation processes.
Cordycepin exhibits notable anti-inflammatory properties and provides neuroprotective effects by suppressing Aβ-induced apoptosis in hippocampal neurons. It is also capable of inducing apoptosis in various cancer cell lines and demonstrates anti-obesity activity.
In addition, cordycepin can delay cellular senescence through activation of the AMPK pathway. It supports the maintenance of stem cell pluripotency and enhances the efficiency of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell generation.

Product Usage
Cordycepin (CAS#73-03-0) is an adenosine analog that lacks the hydroxyl group at the 3′ position. It functions as an inhibitor of PARP1 and interferes with polyadenylation.
It exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and provides neuroprotection by reducing Aβ-induced apoptosis in hippocampal neurons. Cordycepin also promotes apoptosis in multiple cancer cell lines and demonstrates anti-obesity effects.
Furthermore, it suppresses cellular senescence through activation of the AMPK pathway. It helps preserve stem cell pluripotency and enhances the efficiency of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell generation.
