• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Thioinosine is a nucleoside analog that is chemically related to 6-mercaptopurine. It inhibits the polymerase chain reaction and has been shown to inhibit aerobic metabolism in aerobacter aerogenes. It also inhibits the growth of hl-60 cells, which are derived from human leukemia cells. 6-Thioinosine has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. It also blocks the activity of certain receptors and has a disease activity against infectious diseases such as systemic candidiasis, bacterial endocarditis, and bowel disease.
