​

Hypoxanthine is a naturally occurring purine derivative and an important intermediate in nucleic acid metabolism. It is a breakdown product of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and plays a central role in the purine salvage pathway, where it is converted into inosine monophosphate (IMP) by the enzyme HGPRT.

 

As a key biochemical compound, hypoxanthine links cellular energy metabolism with DNA and RNA synthesis, making it highly relevant in both scientific research and potential nutraceutical applications.

  • Key Health and Research Applications*

  •  

  • Energy Metabolism: Closely associated with ATP turnover and cellular energy regulation.

  • Cellular Health: Functions as a nucleobase involved in DNA and RNA synthesis pathways.

  • Oxidative Stress Marker: Used in biomedical research as an indicator of hypoxia and oxidative stress.

  • Nutraceutical Potential: Studied as a bioactive compound that may support cellular vitality and metabolic balance.
