Description

Hypoxanthine Monosodium is the monosodium salt form of the purine base hypoxanthine, a key intermediate in nucleotide metabolism. This high-purity biochemical is essential for research and production processes requiring a defined and reliable source of nucleobases. It serves as a critical building block and precursor in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries for applications ranging from cell culture media supplementation to the synthesis of nucleoside analogs.

Application

• Cell Culture & Media Formulation: Used as a vital component in defined cell culture media, particularly for hybridoma and mammalian cell lines, supporting cell growth and monoclonal antibody production.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a key starting material or precursor in the synthesis of various nucleoside and nucleotide-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and antiviral agents.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis (e.g., purine salvage pathway), and molecular biology research.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Utilized in the formulation of diagnostic kits and assays that measure enzymes like xanthine oxidase or assess purine metabolism.
• Microbiology: Serves as a nutritional supplement in selective microbiological media for the cultivation of specific microorganisms.
