9-beta-D-Arabinofuranosyladenine, 99%

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.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
