'''Azaserine''' is a naturally occurring serine derivative diazo compound with ] and ] properties deriving from its action as a ] and structural similarity to ]. Azaserine acts by ] ], a key enzyme responsible for glutamine metabolism.
'''Azaserine''' is a ] primarily used for researching pancreatic cancer in animal models. It is a ] analogue that irreversibly inhibits glutamine utilizing enzymes such as ], which is involved in the biosynthesis of ] (IMP). IMP is an important precursor to the ] ]s which include ] (AMP) and ] (GMP).


== Mechanism of Action ==
Further enzymes of purine and pyrimidine metabolism are inhibited as well. Therefore it was tested as anti-cancer drug by different authors in different indications (not only pancreatic cancer) in pre-clinical settings. Further glutamine analogues that were tested as anti-cancer drugs are ] and ].


Azaserine inhibits the rate limiting step of the metabolic hexosamine pathway and irreversibly inhibits ] by acting directly at the substrate-binding pocket. Independent of hexosamine pathway inhibition, azaserine has been demonstrated to protect against hyperglycemic endothelial damage by elevating serum concentrations of manganese-], directly reducing the concentration of ].

Azaserine also downregulates the expression of ] and ] in response to ], and research indicates that it may have potential in identifying the <small>L</small>-leucine-favoring system transporter in human ].


== Properties==
{{pharma-stub}}
Azaserine has a solubility of 50&nbsp;mg/mL in water, a melting point of 146-162&nbsp;°C, a vapor pressure of 1.53x10<sup>−10</sup>mmHg at 25&nbsp;°C, and decomposes before melting.{{cn|date=April 2014}}
