Adenine is a nucleobase (a purine derivative). Its derivatives have a variety of roles in biochemistry including cellular respiration, in the form of both the energy-rich adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). It also has functions in protein synthesis and as a chemical component of DNA and RNA. The shape of adenine is complementary to either thymine in DNA or uracil in RNA

Sample Use Guides

the daily dose of adenine is 10-60 mg/day
Route of Administration: Oral
NIH/3T3 cells were plated at a density of 2 × 106 cells and left untreated overnight, cultural media was exchanged and experimental plates were exposed to adenine (200 -1200 mkM) for 24 hr. Cells were counted at various concentration of adenine or AICAR with a hemocytometer after diluting the sample 1:1 with 0.4% trypan blue solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Alternatively, the cell cytotoxicity of the cells was monitored with XTT assay. 50 μL of XTT reagent was added and the plates were then incubated for 4 hr at 37 °C in the dark. The absorbance at 490 nm with a reference wavelength set at 690 nm using VersaMax ELISA microplate reader
