Product Description: SIBA (5'-Isobutylthioadenosine) is a transmethylation inhibitor (SAH (HY-19528) analogue), with potent anti-proliferative activity. SIBA reversibly inhibits the production of HSV-1 by blocking methylation, specifically by blocking the 5' end-capping of viral mRNA. SIBA also inhibits the growth of tumour cells in vitro and metastatic spread in vivo. SIBA can be used in cancer, HSV-1 infection and anti-malaria studies[1][2][3].
