Guanosine (DL-Guanosine) is a purine nucleoside comprising guanine attached to a ribose (ribofuranose) ring via a β-N9-glycosidic bond. It exhibits anti-HSV activity. As an analytical standard, it is intended for research and analytical applications. In vitro, Guanosine can be phosphorylated into guanosine monophosphate (GMP), cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), guanosine diphosphate (GDP), and guanosine triphosphate (GTP), which are crucial for various biochemical processes including nucleic acid and protein synthesis, photosynthesis, muscle contraction, and intracellular signal transduction.
- Used as a reference standard for assays.
- Commonly utilized in qualitative, quantitative, and methodological research experiments.
- Supports applications such as HPLC, GC, and MS.
