Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), a malarial pathogen, can only synthesize purine nucleotides employing a salvage pathway because it lacks de novo biosynthesis. Adenosine deaminase (ADA), one of the three purine salvage enzymes, catalyzes the irreversible hydrolytic deamination of adenosine to inosine, wh

Colon cancer is one of the most common digestive malignant tumors that leads to high mortality worldwide, and metastasis is the primary cause of cancer-related death. It is well accepted that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in the process of metastasis. As a cytokine tha

Mercaptopurine (MP) is a cytotoxic thiopurine important for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. MP and other thiopurine drugs undergo extensive intracellular metabolism, but the mechanisms of action are poorly characterized. In particular, it is unknown how different metabolites contrib
