Product Information

• Name: o-Topolin riboside
• Synonyms: N6-(2-hydroxybenzyl)adenosine6-(2-Hydroxybenzylamino)-9-b-D-ribofuranosylpurine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: o-Topolin riboside is a hydroxy derivative that can be found in Helleborus niger. It has been shown to have hormone-like effects on the body, and is an endogenous compound that can be found in human blood plasma. The dry weight of H. niger leaves was increased by o-topolin riboside, and it also increased the photosynthetic activity of isolated chloroplasts from wheat leaves. The enzyme immunoassays showed that o-topolin riboside binds to both apical and basal surfaces of excised chloroplasts. This binding inhibits the decomposition of pyridine nucleotides, which are necessary for photosynthesis. The binding also inhibits the degradation of starch and glycogen, leading to an increase in carbon dioxide fixation rates.
