Azaserine (CI-337) is a glutamine analog and competitive inhibitor of glutamine amidotransferase, an enzyme involved in nucleotide biosynthesis. It exhibits both antibiotic and antitumor properties by disrupting glutamine-dependent metabolic processes essential for cell proliferation. Azaserine demonstrates antibacterial activity and has shown antitumor effects in various cancer models. However, it has also been reported to possess tumorigenic potential under certain conditions, warranting cautious evaluation.
