2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in hot water; slightly soluble in methanol; insoluble in ethanol, acetone, ether and lipid solvents
- Melting Point: Decomposes at 234–236 °C
- Hygroscopicity: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity conditions
- Crystal property: Needle crystal obtained by recrystallization from hot water
Chemical Properties
- Molecular Structure: Nucleoside compound composed of adenine purine base and ribose pentose linked by β-N-glycosidic bond, contains amino and multiple hydroxyl functional groups
- Glycosidic bond characteristic: Stable under neutral and weak acid environment; glycosidic bond hydrolyzes under strong acid heating to generate adenine and ribose
- Hydroxyl reactivity: Multiple ribose hydroxyl groups can undergo esterification, phosphorylation to produce ATP, ADP, AMP nucleotide derivatives
- Thermal stability: Stable below 180 °C; high temperature triggers carbonization and decomposition
- Photostability: Slightly sensitive to intense ultraviolet light; aqueous solution gradually discolors under long-term light irradiation
- Compatibility: Compatible with neutral aqueous pharmaceutical excipients; incompatible with strong mineral acids, strong oxidants and heavy metal salts
3. Main Application Fields
1. Pharmaceutical API & Nucleoside Intermediate (Core Application)
