Human Endogenous Metabolite
Thyminose does not have a specific pharmacological target as it is an endogenous metabolite. It is a deoxypentose found in humans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and mice, and is functionally related to D-ribose. As a component of DNA, it is involved in nucleic acid metabolism. Its "target" in research is the metabolic pathways involving deoxyribose and nucleotide metabolism. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Thyminose is used to study processes of oxidative stress and glycation. It serves as an endothelial-cell chemoattractant and angiogenesis-inducing factor, used to study tumor angiogenesis and progression mediated at the level of thymidine phosphorylase activity. It is also used as a reducing sugar in various biochemical assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Thyminose is an endogenous metabolite involved in DNA metabolism. It is produced during the degradation of thymidine by thymidine phosphorylase. Its levels reflect nucleotide turnover and may be altered in conditions involving increased DNA synthesis or degradation. It is not a therapeutic agent but is studied in the context of metabolism and disease.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays with Thyminose typically involve studying thymidine phosphorylase, which catalyzes the formation of 2-deoxy-D-ribose from thymidine. The compound can also be used in assays to study glycation and oxidative stress. Standard assays involve incubating the compound with enzyme preparations and analyzing products by spectrophotometric or chromatographic methods.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell culture experiments with Thyminose involve treating endothelial cells or cancer cells to study its effects on angiogenesis and tumor progression. Cells are treated with various concentrations, and endpoints include assessment of cell migration, tube formation, and proliferation. These experiments characterize the role of thyminose in angiogenesis and tumor biology.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with Thyminose typically involve using animal models of tumor angiogenesis. The compound or its precursor (thymidine) is administered to study its effects on tumor growth and vascularization. These studies are used to understand the role of thymidine phosphorylase and its product, thyminose, in cancer progression.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of Thyminose reflect its role as a metabolic intermediate. It is produced intracellularly from thymidine and is rapidly metabolized or incorporated into DNA. As a small, polar sugar, it is water-soluble and readily excreted. Specific PK parameters are not well characterized as it is an endogenous metabolite.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Thyminose has a low toxicity profile as it is a naturally occurring metabolite. However, it is classified with hazard codes Xn (Harmful) and Xi (Irritant), with risk statements indicating it is harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin, and irritating to eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Appropriate safety precautions should be taken.

| Additional Infomation |
2-Deoxy-D-ribose is a deoxypentose, a metabolite in which the C-2 hydroxyl group of D-ribose is replaced by a hydrogen atom. It is found in humans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and mice, and is functionally related to D-ribose. Deoxyribose is a metabolite found or produced in Escherichia coli (K12 strain, MG1655 strain). 2-Deoxy-D-ribose has been reported to exist in humans and Trypanosoma brevicornu, with relevant data available. 2-Deoxy-D-ribose is a metabolite found or produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Thyminose (2-deoxy-D-ribose) is a naturally occurring deoxypentose that is the core sugar component of DNA. It is an endothelial-cell chemoattractant and angiogenesis-inducing factor used to study tumor angiogenesis. The compound is an endogenous metabolite and is not a drug. It is available for laboratory research use only. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
