JUNOSINE - Introduction
Junosine(Junosine) is an organic compound with the chemical name 6-methylguanosine (6-methylguanosine) and the chemical formula is C11H15N5O5.
Junosine is a purine nucleoside consisting of guanosine and a methyl group. It is mainly found in natural RNA, especially in tRNA and rRNA. Junosine plays an important role in the modification of RNA molecules.
The main use of Junosine is as a research tool to study the structure and function of RNA. It is also used as a precursor of antiviral drugs, with antiviral and antitumor potential.
The preparation of Junosine is mainly achieved by chemical synthesis or enzyme catalysis. Chemical synthesis methods typically use a protecting group strategy to introduce a methyl group into the guanosine molecule. Enzymatic synthesis methods utilize the catalytic activity of specific enzymes.
With regard to the safety of Junosine, no studies have been reported on its toxicity or danger. However, as a chemical substance, the use and handling of Junosine should follow regular laboratory safety practices, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and avoiding direct contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
