CAS 58-61-7: Adenosine
Description:Adenosine is a nucleoside composed of the nitrogenous base adenine linked to a ribose sugar. It plays a crucial role in biochemistry, particularly in energy transfer and signaling within cells. Adenosine is involved in the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy carrier in biological systems. It also acts as a signaling molecule in various physiological processes, including vasodilation, neurotransmission, and regulation of sleep. Chemically, adenosine is characterized by its molecular formula C10H13N5O4 and a relatively low molecular weight. It is soluble in water and exhibits a neutral pH in solution. Adenosine can exist in various forms, including phosphorylated derivatives like AMP, ADP, and ATP, which are vital for cellular metabolism. Additionally, it has therapeutic applications, such as in the treatment of certain cardiac arrhythmias and as a potential agent in cancer therapy. Its biological significance and versatility make adenosine a key focus of research in pharmacology and biochemistry.
