ADAM-17 (TACE) and MMP inhibitor (Ki = 120 nM at ADAM-17). Sensitizes cancer stem cells to the lethal effects of 5-FU in vitro. Blocks shedding of TNF-α from cell membranes.

CCI-006 is a selective inhibitor and chemosensitizer of MLL-rearranged leukemia cells. It inhibits mitochondrial respiration resulting in insurmountable mitochondrial depolarization and a pro-apoptotic unfolded protein response in a subset of MLL-r leukemia cells.

Adenosine is a nucleoside comprised of adenine attached to a ribose (ribofuranose) moiety via a -N9-glycosidic bond. Deoxyadenosine monophosphate is a derivative of the common nucleic acid ATP or adenosine triphosphate in which the -OH (hydroxyl) group on the 2' carbon on the nucleotide's pentose has been removed (hence the deoxy- part of the name).
