1. What is Adenine?

Adenine is a fundamental purine derivative, one of the four core nucleobases that form the building blocks of DNA and RNA. It is a crucial component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of the cell, and various cofactors like NAD and FAD. Beyond its biological role, adenine is a key starting material and intermediate in the synthesis of numerous antiviral and anticancer drugs. For B2B clients in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and research sectors, a reliable Adenine manufacturer is essential for sourcing a high-purity, compliant ingredient that meets strict quality standards for critical applications.

2. Source, Chemical Properties, and Identifiers

• Product Source: Primarily produced through chemical synthesis from simpler precursors like formamide or aminoimidazole carbonitrile (AICN) under controlled industrial conditions. This ensures high purity, consistency, and scalability.

• Chemical Classification: Purine base.

• CAS Number: 73-24-5

• Molecular Formula (MF): C5H5N5

• Molecular Weight (MW): 135.13 g/mol

• EINECS: 200-796-1

3. What Defines the Best Adenine? A B2B Buyer’s Guide

For international pharmaceutical companies, supplement exporters, and research institutions, the “best” Adenine is defined by its ultra-high purity, low impurity profile (especially for related substances like other nucleobases), and comprehensive documentation supporting its intended use (e.g., DMF, CEP).

• Key Ingredient & Efficacy: Premium Adenine is a synthetic compound of high purity (e.g., ≥99.0% or USP/EP grade). Its primary roles are structural and functional:

  • Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical building block in the synthesis of nucleoside analogue drugs (e.g., Acyclovir, Tenofovir) used to treat viral infections and cancers.

  • Cell Culture Media Component: Used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing as a key nutrient for cell growth and proliferation.

  • Research Reagent: Essential for molecular biology research, PCR, and genetic studies.

  • (Compliant for use as a pharmaceutical intermediate, in cell culture, and as a research chemical. Not typically sold as a direct dietary supplement ingredient.)

• Origin & Quality: Our Adenine is synthesized in cGMP-compliant facilities, ensuring a product free from biological contaminants and with a consistent, well-defined chemical profile.

• Usage & Dosage:

  • Typical Use: Incorporated as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate, a raw material in cell culture media, and a reagent in diagnostic kits and research laboratories.

  • Recommended Dosage: There is no standard dietary dosage. All usage is highly specific to the pharmaceutical synthesis protocol, cell culture formulation, or research application.

• Applicable Audience: Pharmaceutical synthesis departments, biopharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and diagnostic kit manufacturers.

• Notes & Side Effects:

  • Precautions: FOR INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for direct human consumption as a dietary supplement. Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in a laboratory setting.

  • Side Effects: Not applicable for this B2B context. As a pharmaceutical intermediate, its safety profile is managed within the drug development process.

5. Detailed Product Specifications (COA)

Every batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) that confirms compliance with stringent pharmacological standards.

6. Production Process & Quality Control

Our production of Adenine involves multi-step chemical synthesis from validated starting materials. The process typically begins with precursors like formamide or AICN, undergoing a series of controlled reactions (e.g., cyclization, purification) to build the purine ring structure. The crude product is then purified through techniques such as recrystallization from a suitable solvent or chromatography to achieve the desired pharmaceutical-grade purity. The final product is dried and milled to a consistent particle size if required.

Our Quality Control is exceptionally rigorous and designed for pharmaceutical intermediates. It starts with qualifying all raw materials. In-process controls (IPC) are implemented at critical steps to monitor reaction completion and impurity profiles. The final product undergoes exhaustive testing. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection is the primary method for quantifying the Adenine content and profiling related substances and impurities. ICP-MS is used for sensitive heavy metal detection. Karl Fischer titration precisely measures water content. Additionally, we perform microbiological testing to ensure bioburden limits are met. This multi-tiered QC protocol, conducted in our state-of-the-art labs, guarantees a product that is consistent, pure, and suitable for its demanding applications.

7. Application Scenarios

Adenine is a critical ingredient for advanced industries:

• Pharmaceuticals: Primarily used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of a wide range of antiviral and anticancer nucleoside analogue drugs.

• Biopharmaceuticals: An essential component of defined cell culture media used in the production of monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and other biologics.

• Molecular Biology & Diagnostics: Used as a raw material in PCR kits, nucleotide synthesis, and various research reagents.

• Chemical Research: Serves as a building block for novel chemical entities and materials science research.

8. Technical Role, Research, and Innovation

Adenine’s role is structural and functional, serving as a core scaffold in nucleic acids and critical biomolecules. The main research frontier involves developing more efficient and greener synthetic routes for its production and creating novel derivatives with enhanced biological activities. The key challenge for manufacturers is achieving and consistently maintaining ultra-high purity with minimal isomeric and other purine impurities, which is crucial for pharmaceutical efficacy and safety. At Zhonghong, our innovation lies in our patented, optimized synthesis pathways that maximize yield and purity while reducing environmental impact, providing our B2B partners with a reliable and high-quality building block for their most important products.
