XANTHOSINE DIHYDRATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white crystalline powder

Uses

The deamination product of Guanosine. Potential biomarker for detecting radiation exposure. Xanthosine Dihydrate can be used in the amplification of DNA isothermal strand displacement.

Uses

The deamination product of Guanosine. Potential biomarker for detecting radiation exposure. Used in the amplification of DNA isothermal strand displacement.

Uses

Xanthosine dihydrate has been used as a test compound in one dimensional liquid chromatography analysis (1D-LC ).

General Description

Xanthosine comprises xanthine ring. It is derived from a purine metabolite and is a caffeine biosynthesis intermediate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Xanthosine plays a key role in purine metabolism. High levels of xanthosine excretion is observed in breast cancer.

Purification Methods

It crystallises from EtOH (anhydrous) or water (as dihydrate). [Howard et al. J Chem Soc 232 1949, Beilstein 31 H 28, 26 III/IV 2428.]
