Guanosine(CAS: 118-00-3)

Guanosine is a nucleoside composed of guanine and ribose. It has the chemical formula C10H13N5O5 and is commonly used in biochemical research. Guanosine is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water, and is known for its role in nucleic acid synthesis and as a precursor in various pharmaceutical applications.

Guanosine is widely used in pharmaceuticals for drug development, in the food industry as a flavor enhancer, and in research for studying nucleic acid metabolism. It also finds applications in biotechnology for nucleotide synthesis and in the production of nucleoside analogs for therapeutic purposes.

Guanosine is generally considered safe when handled properly. However, it should be used with caution in high concentrations, and protective measures such as gloves and goggles are recommended. Safety standards for Guanosine are typically aligned with those for other nucleosides in chemical and industrial settings.

Guanosine should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, preferably at 2-8°C. It is sensitive to moisture and light, so it should be kept in airtight containers and protected from exposure. Proper storage ensures stability and prevents degradation over time.
