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

the daily dose of adenine is 10-60 mg/day

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

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
