It has a role as an antimicrobial agent and an antifungal agent. It is a member of adenosines and a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid. It is functionally related to a L-ornithine.

Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues.
Agents used in the treatment of malaria. They are usually classified on the basis of their action against plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human. (From AMA, Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p1585)
Substances that are destructive to protozoans.
DescriptionSinefungin (58944-73-3) is a nucleoside S-adenosyl-1-methionine analog. Potent, competitive methyltransferase (protein, DNA, and RNA methyltransferases) inhibitor.1,2IC50< 1.0 and 2.5 μM for PRMT1 and SET7/9, respectively.3Sinefungin binds with greater affinity to the adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase M.TaqI than S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.4Inhibits biofilm formation byStreptococcus pneumoniae.5
UsesSinefungin, a polar nucleoside antifungal active with broad biological activity, was isolated from a number of species of Streptomyces in the early 1970s. Sinefungin acts by inhibiting a wide range of methyltransferases, including the methylation of bases in DNA and RNA which alters cytosine deamination and gene expression. Sinefungin is widely used as a bioprobe to block methyltransferase-dependent pathways.
UsesSinefungin is a natural nucleoside analog of S-adenosylmethionine and inhibits Streptococcus pneumoniae biofilm growth. Its derivatives can be used as inhibitors and structure probes for human protein lysine methyltransferase SETD2.
