Chemical Information
FooDB NameAdenosine
DescriptionAdenosine, also known as adenocard or ade-rib, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purine nucleosides. Purine nucleosides are compounds comprising a purine base attached to a ribosyl or deoxyribosyl moiety. A ribonucleoside composed of a molecule of adenine attached to a ribofuranose moiety via a beta-N(9)-glycosidic bond. Adenosine is a drug which is used as an initial treatment for the termination of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (pvst), including that associated with accessory bypass tracts, and is a drug of choice for terminating stable, narrow-complex supraventricular tachycardias (svt). also used as an adjunct to thallous chloride ti 201 myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (thallium stress test) in patients who are unable to exercise adequately, as well as an adjunct to vagal maneuvers and clinical assessment to establish a specific diagnosis of undefined, stable, narrow-complex svt. Adenosine is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Adenosine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, adenosine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, adenosine can be converted into inosine; which is mediated by the enzyme adenosine deaminase. In addition, adenosine can be converted into adenine and ribose 1-phosphate; which is mediated by the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase. In humans, adenosine is involved in thioguanine action pathway. Outside of the human body, Adenosine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within beers and milk (cow). Adenosine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as capers, new zealand spinachs, welsh onions, hickory nuts, and pepper (spice). This could make adenosine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Adenosine is a potentially toxic compound.

Laxative50503 An agent that stimulates bowel movements, relieving constipation by softening stool or increasing intestinal motility. Therapeutically, laxatives are used to treat constipation, prepare the bowel for medical procedures, and manage certain medical conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome.DUKE
LipolyticAn agent that stimulates hydrolysis of fats into fatty acids and glycerol, playing a key biological role in fat metabolism. Therapeutically, lipolytics have applications in managing obesity and hypertriglyceridemia, with medical uses including weight loss and improving lipid profiles.DUKE
MyorelaxantAn agent that reduces muscle contractility by blocking nerve impulses or decreasing motor end plate excitability, used therapeutically to relieve muscle spasms, tension, and pain, commonly in managing musculoskeletal disorders, anxiety, and insomnia.DUKE
Platelet aggregation factor inhibitor50427 An agent that blocks platelet activation and aggregation, reducing blood clot formation. Therapeutically, it prevents thrombosis, commonly used in managing cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and heart attack, and in patients undergoing angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting.DUKE
PyrogenicAn agent that induces fever, stimulating the immune system. It plays a biological role in fighting infection and has therapeutic applications in immunotherapy and vaccine development. Key medical uses include treating certain infections and cancers, as well as stimulating the immune system in immunocompromised patients.DUKE
RespirastimulantAn agent that stimulates an increase in tidal volume and respiratory rate, playing a biological role in enhancing respiratory function. Therapeutically, it is used to manage respiratory disorders, with key medical applications including treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), respiratory failure, and apnea.DUKE
SecretomotorA nerve structure that stimulates glandular secretion, typically of mucus or serous fluid, playing a key role in digestion, respiration, and other bodily functions. Therapeutically, it has applications in managing conditions like dry mouth and respiratory issues, with medical uses including regulation of digestive enzymes and treatment of certain gastrointestinal disorders.DUKE
Sedative35717 An agent that calms nervous activity, reducing anxiety and inducing relaxation. Its biological role is to slow down brain function, promoting sleep and relieving stress. Therapeutically, sedatives are used to manage insomnia, anxiety disorders, and seizures, as well as to prepare patients for medical procedures.DUKE
Vasodilator35620 An agent that widens blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and increasing blood flow. It plays a biological role in regulating cardiovascular function. Therapeutically, vasodilators are used to treat conditions such as hypertension, angina, and heart failure, improving oxygen delivery and reducing cardiac workload.DUKE
