Notes: Tubercidin is a nucleoside analog that has been found in S. tubercidicus and has diverse biological activities.{64535,64536,64537,64538} It is active against S. faecalis (IC50 = 0.02 µM) and cytotoxic to P388 murine leukemia and A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells (IC50s = 0.008 and 0.019 µg/ml, respectively).{64535,64536} Tubercidin reduces infection of Calu-3 cells by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; EC50 = 0.05 µM) but is toxic to A549 cells expressing human ACE2 (A549-ACE2) and Vero cells.{64537} Tubercidin (5 mg/kg per day), in combination with the nucleoside transport inhibitor prodrug NBMPR-P, increases survival in a mouse model of schistosomiasis but is hepato- and nephrotoxic and induces mortality when administered alone at the same dose for four days.{64538}
