Adenosine is an endogenous nucleoside that is distributed throughout human cells. It can directly enter the myocardium to generate adenylate through phosphorylation, which participates in myocardial energy metabolism, and also participates in dilating coronary blood vessels and increasing blood flow. It can be used to treat supraventricular tachycardia. Adenosine has physiological effects on the cardiovascular system and many other systems and tissues of the body. Adenosine is an important intermediate used to synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP), アデニン, アデニル酸, そしてアラビノアデノシン.
アデノシンは生化学において重要な役割を果たします, アデノシン三リン酸を含む (ATP) またはアデノ二リン酸 (ADP) エネルギー伝達の形式, または環状アデノシン一リン酸へ (キャンプ) 信号伝達などに. 加えて, アデノシンは抑制性神経伝達物質です (抑制性神経伝達物質), 睡眠を促進する可能性があります.
