Hypoxanthine
Hypoxanthine is a natural purine derivative, with potential to be used as a free radical generator. Hypoxanthine seems to play a role in posthypoxic reoxygenation cell injury via oxygen radical production, and is thus involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Hypoxanthine also modulates a variety of other processes because it can react with benzodiazepine receptors and inhibit phosphodiesterase in the brain. Hypoxanthine has been reported to be used as an indicator of hypoxia.?

Applications |
Hypoxanthine alone inhibited [3H] diazepam binding by 11.7%. When hypoxanthine was combined with inosine, the inhibition on [3H] diazepam binding could reach 34.3%. Thus, hypoxanthine could play a neuromodulatory role as well as affect benzodiazepine action. |
