HUVEC indicates human umbilical endothelial cell; DAMP, deoxyadenosine-5′-phosphate; TMP, thymidine-5′-phosphate; dCMP, deoxycytidine-5′-phosphate; dAMPS, deoxyadenosine-5′-phosphorothioate; TMPS, thymidine-5′-phosphorothioate; dGMPS, deoxyguanosine-5′-phosphorothioate; dCMPS, deoxycytidine-5′-phosphorothioate; dGMP, 2′-deoxyguanosine 5′-monophosphate; and an initial d, deoxy.

Cell viability was determined with tetrazolium salt assay (expressed as a percentage of control cell counts) 72 hours after addition of mononucleotides, nucleosides, or purine bases at a concentration of 100 μM. Cells were incubated in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% (K 562, HeLa) or 20% FBS (HUVECs, HL-60). Data points represent means of at least 6 experiments ± SD.
