Product Information

• Name: Dihydrozeatin riboside-5'-monophosphate sodium salt
• Synonyms: 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbutylamino)-9-b-D-ribofuranosyl purine-5'-monophosphate disodium monohydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dihydrozeatin riboside-5'-monophosphate sodium salt is a cytokinin that belongs to the group of indole compounds. It has been shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of ethylene, which prevents fruit from ripening. Dihydrozeatin riboside-5'-monophosphate sodium salt is also able to inhibit the synthesis of adenosine, another plant hormone that inhibits growth and promotes dormancy in plants. The bioassay for this product has been done with amanita muscaria, an edible mushroom found in North America and Europe. This mushroom contains dihydrozeatin as well as other related compounds such as zeatin, which can be converted into dihydrozeatin by enzymes present in the intestines. The symptoms of poisoning by this mushroom include vomiting and diarrhea, owing to its effects on intestinal motility.
