Abstract
Xylosyl-methylthio-adenosine, a naturally occurring analogue of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthio-adenosine, has been postulated to play a protective role during egg development in the mollusc Doris verrucosa. However, in vitro tests showed that this analogue is devoid of activity against fungi, bacteria and viruses.
