9-beta-D-Arabinofuranosyladenine, 99%
Description
Vidarabine is a neurotransmitter that acts as the preferred endogenous agonist at all adenosine receptor subtypes. Vidarabine is an inhibitor of A cyclase and DNA Polymerase. Used to study the roles of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in cell signaling. Cell-permeable adenylate cyclase inhibitor; in detergent-dispersed rat brain preparation, IC50 = 30 ?M. Clinically significant antiviral agent, especially against herpes simplex (HSV),1 by inhibition of DNA polymerase.
