Chemical structure of Adenosine | 58-61-7
Adenosine (CAS 58-61-7) is a fundamental purine nucleoside — adenine joined to a ribose sugar — that Sarchem Labs supplies as a white-yellow crystalline powder for biochemistry, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical R&D. As a natural component of ATP, ADP, and AMP, it sits at the center of cellular energy metabolism, and it also acts as a signaling molecule through a dedicated family of adenosine receptors. Every lot is backed by a COA and SDS. Sarchem’s material is a research/bulk chemical, not the branded clinical drug product sold under similar names.

Product Description

What is Adenosine?

Adenosine is a purine nucleoside formed by linking the nitrogenous base adenine to a ribose sugar through a β-N9-glycosidic bond. It is one of the most fundamental molecules in cellular biochemistry, forming the nucleoside backbone of ATP — the cell’s primary energy currency — and also functioning as a signaling molecule through its own family of cell-surface receptors.

Uses of Adenosine

Used throughout biochemistry and molecular biology research as a substrate for nucleotide and nucleic-acid studies, including enzyme kinetics work with adenosine deaminase and related enzymes. Cell-signaling researchers use it to study adenosine-receptor-mediated pathways. It also serves as a reference/research-grade standard in pharmaceutical R&D exploring cardiovascular and electrophysiology mechanisms.

Safety Information

*No GHS data was located specifically for Sarchem’s SKU; adenosine as a natural biomolecule generally carries a low chemical-hazard profile, but this should be confirmed against Sarchem’s own SDS rather than assumed.*

  • Recommended PPE: Standard laboratory precautions — gloves, safety glasses, dust control when handling the powder
  • Storage: Cool, dry, sealed container

As a substrate and reference compound in nucleotide biochemistry, enzyme-kinetics studies (e.g., adenosine deaminase), and cell-signaling research via adenosine receptors.

Chemically the same molecule, but Sarchem supplies it as a research/bulk chemical — not the FDA-approved, clinically formulated drug product sold under those brand names.

58-61-7, C10H13N5O4, MW ~267.24 g/mol.

It's the nucleoside backbone of ATP, ADP, and AMP — the core molecules cells use to store and transfer chemical energy.
