Cordycepin

Experimental Nucleoside

Cordycepin is 3'-deoxyadenosine, a constituent associated with Cordyceps militaris. Purified cordycepin is distinct from whole-fungus products.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for cordycepin is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.

  1. Distribution and Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of Cordycepin in Rat: Investigated by UHPLC-HRMS/MS and Blood-Brain Synchronous Microdialysis Li M, Liu F, Guo L, Fan W, Wang J, Lu B, Hong G, Zhang W, Tian S, Mao J, Xie J · Biomedical Chromatography, 2025 DOI

    Rat blood and brain microdialysis after intraperitoneal cordycepin showed rapid disappearance and 3'-deoxyinosine formation. These nonhuman, nonoral data are mechanistic only and cannot define human supplement exposure.
