Adenosine
Description
Adenosine (CAS 58-61-7), also known by the trade name Boniton, is a naturally occurring nucleoside used across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biotechnology applications. In topical formulations, it functions as a humectant and antioxidant stabilizer.
This material helps to maintain moisture retention and ingredient integrity. Procurement demand spans both high-purity synthesis-grade material and cosmetic-grade specifications for various industrial manufacturing needs.
In cosmetic formulations, it is incorporated into anti-aging creams and serums, where it supports skin smoothing and moisture-binding performance. It does not require active pharmaceutical classification in most markets.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as an active ingredient and biochemical intermediate in cardiovascular drug synthesis and injectable formulations. In biotechnology, it serves as a critical building block for nucleotide synthesis.
It is also used for cell culture media supplementation and enzymatic assay development. Research-scale buyers source it for use in molecular biology workflows, including ATP pathway studies and receptor binding research.
The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder. Standard grades include USP, BP, and Ph. Eur. for pharmaceutical applications, with cosmetic-grade material available for personal care use.
Research and reagent grades are also offered for life sciences procurement. These typically feature defined purity thresholds of 98% or higher by HPLC to ensure consistent performance in laboratory environments.
