Product Information

• Name: 8-Methyladenosine
• Synonyms: 8-Methyl-D-adenosine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 8-Methyladenosine is an acid conjugate that can be found in the urine of healthy people. It is a protonated molecule that binds to a p2 subtype of the G protein-coupled receptor, which is activated by adenosine and 8-methyladenosine. This drug has been used in clinical trials for the treatment of herpes simplex virus and cervical cancer. The intramolecular hydrogen bond between the methyl group and the adenosine ring is responsible for its high binding affinity for this receptor. The glycosidic bond is formed when an 8-methyladenosine molecule attaches to a receptor on a cell surface, forming an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the receptor's amino acid side chain. This bond is broken when a protonated molecule of 8-methyladenosine enters the cell and interacts with the receptor, resulting in activation of this receptor.
