6-Azathymine, a 6-nitrogen analog of thymine, is a potent D-3-aminoisobutyrate-pyruvate aminotransferase inhibitor. 6-Azathymine inhibits the biosynthesis of DNA, and has antibacterial and antiviral activities[1][2][3][4].

6-Azathymine is a competitive antagonist of the growth of Streptococcus faecalis (8043) and several other strains of microorganisms. Studies of the mechanism of action of 6-Azathymine reveal that S. faecalis can convert the analog to the corresponding deoxyriboside, azathymidine[2].
