It is produced by the strain of Str. albus var. pathocidicus. It is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic antifungal antibiotic. 8-azaguanine functions as an antimetabolite and easily incorporates into ribonucleic acids, interfering with normal biosynthetic pathways, thus inhibiting cellular growth.

Reference Reading
1.Behavioural and chemoreceptor cell responses of the tick, Ixodes ricinus, to its own faeces and faecal constituents.
Grenacher S;Kröber T;Guerin PM;Vlimant M Exp Appl Acarol. 2001;25(8):641-60.
Ticks are ectoparasites of vertebrates and utilize a variety of infochemicals for host finding and acceptance as well as for intraspecific aggregation and mating responses. Individual male and female Ixodes ricinus. the vector of Lyme disease in Europe. readily arrest on filter paper strips contaminated with their own faeces. I. ricinus also responds, but to a lesser degree, to faeces-contaminated papers enclosed in metal mesh envelopes. i.e. without directly contacting the faeces, suggesting a role for volatiles in the arrestment response. The faccal constituents guanine. xanthine, uric acid and 8-azaguanine (a bacterial breakdown product of guanine) also caused arrestment of individual I. ricinus males and females. However, mixtures of these products induced arrestment of I. ricinus at doses one hundred fold lower than the lowest active dose of any of them tested singly. Saline extracts of faeces activated receptor cells in terminal pore sensilla on the first leg tarsi of I. ricinus. One cell in these sensilla responded in a similar dose dependent manner to guanine and 8-azaguanine, whereas a second cell was more sensitive to lower doses of 8-azaguanine. The response threshold approached 100 fM for both cells.
2.Adenosine transport by the lung.
Das DK;Steinberg H J Appl Physiol (1985). 1988 Jul;65(1):297-305.
Adenosine, a nucleoside and potent vasodilator, has been found to be taken up by the lung and converted by deamination into inosine and hypoxanthine. In a single circulation through an isolated rat lung, 69.3 +/- 3.3% of infused [14C]adenosine (10 microM) was removed from the circulation. Uptake of [14C]adenosine remained unchanged when deamination of adenosine was inhibited by 8-azaguanine or coformycin. In a single passage of adenosine through the pulmonary artery, very little of the deaminated products appeared in the pulmonary circulation, but when adenosine was recirculated through the pulmonary circulation inosine and hypoxanthine appeared in the venous effluent. These adenosine metabolites were also taken up by the lung. A major portion of the circulating adenosine was transported into the lung, where it was used to synthesize adenine nucleotides. Inhibition of adenosine kinase by iodotubercidin resulted in reduced formation of ATP and ADP. Uptake of adenosine by the lung was saturable on a concentration gradient and was a passive process because it was not affected by the absence of glucose or the presence of ouabain. Km and Vmax for adenosine transport were 0.227 mM and 4.6 mumol.
3.Non-mendelian segregation in hybrids between chinese hamster cells.
Harris M J Cell Physiol. 1975 Oct;86(2 PT 2 SUPPL 1):413-29.
Mechanisms of segregation have been examined in hybrids between Chinese hamster cells, where chromosome loss in comparison to other systems is minimal. Hybrid cells were grown in HAT medium and subjected to back selection with bromodeoxyuridine (BUDR) or azaguanine (AZG). In AZG or BUDR at 30 mug/ml, segregation began with a random high frequency event that gave rise to cells capable of growth in both HAT and back selection medium, unlike the precursor hybrid or original parental cell types. BUDR-resistant segregants were propagated serially in the presence of BUDR, and were examined by clonal analysis for changes in plating properties during long term culture. Over a period of 300 days the HAT/BUDR plating ratio for sergregant cells declined continuously. A parallel decrease was observed in the rate of H3-thymidine incorporation, along with a drop in thymidine kinase activity. These shifts took place only in the presence of BUDR, and could be reversed by altered selection in HAT medium. Clonal studies showed that the evolution of segregant properties occurred in most if not all cells of the population, and did not arise from variation and selection of minority cell types. These properties of the segregating system are not consistent with models based on gene mutation, chromosome rearrangements, or chromosome loss.
