cordycepin triphosphate vs adenosine triphosphate & potential cancer link


Cordycepin triphosphate has shown promise as anti-tumor drug for cancer treatment. It is made in nature by a parasitic fungus. In host caterpillars, CTP may disable an immune response against fungi.  

The two differ by one oxygen atom. For easier comparison, the un-phosphorylated molecules are below.  



I have been compiling a dictionary of organic compounds grouped according to their empirical formulas.


The above molecules have some similarity to extraterrestrial amino acids and precursors from the Murchison meteorite.
