Hypoxanthine

SKU: orb1308844

Description

Hypoxanthine (Purin-6-ol) is a natural purine derivative and a key metabolic intermediate in nucleotide salvage pathways. It is widely used in research on purine metabolism, enzymology (e.g., xanthine oxidase studies), and as a biomarker in models of ischemia and oxidative stress, both in vitro and in vivo.

Bioactivity

In Vivo
A linear increase of plasma hypoxanthine with duration of hypoxemia is found in pigs, and there is no difference between arterial and venous plasma. There are good correlations between hypoxanthine and lactate, base deficit and pH. Moreover, there is a direct relationship between survival time and an increase in plasma hypoxanthine. Survival time correlates negatively with the rate of hypoxanthine increase (r=-0.62). All animals die when hypoxanthine exceeds 125 pM/liter. The increase of hypoxanthine, thus, reflected the prognosis of acute hypoxia in contrast to base deficit.
In Vitro
Hypoxanthine is a naturally occurring purine derivative. It is occasionally found as a constituent of nucleic acids, where it is present in the anticodon of tRNA in the form of its nucleoside inosine. It has a tautomer known as 6-hydroxypurine. Hypoxanthine is a necessary additive in a certain cell, bacteria, and parasite cultures as a substrate and nitrogen source.
