7-(5-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-iodo-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine

This compound is a synthetic nucleoside analog structurally related to tubercidin. It consists of a pyrrolopyrimidine base substituted with an iodine atom at the 5-position and attached to a deoxyribose sugar. Its primary mechanism of action is as an inhibitor of adenosine kinase. By inhibiting this enzyme—which phosphorylates adenosine to AMP—the compound can modulate cellular adenosine levels and affect purine metabolism. It has been studied experimentally but has not reached clinical development or approval for any indication[1][2].
