Azaserine is a naturally occurring serine derivative diazo compound with antineoplastic and antibiotic properties deriving from its action as a purinergic antagonist and structural similarity to glutamine. Azazerine acts by competitively inhibiting glutamine amidotransferase a key enzyme responsible for glutamine metabolism.
