General description

Hypoxanthine (6-hydroxypurine), a purine derivative is a naturally occurring compound. It is the deaminated form of adenine and a breakdown product of adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

Application

Hypoxanthine has been used:
  • as a supplement in HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid) -buffered Roswell park memorial institute (RPMI) to culture Plasmodium falciparum strain IT/FCR3
  • in the preparation of Dulbecco′s modified eagle′s medium (DMEM) + MXH for the selection of chimeric modified vaccinia virus ankara (MVA)
  • to generate superoxide anions[1]
  • to prepare hybridoma selection and maintenance media.
Hypoxanthine is a nutrient additive for a variety of cell culture applications involving bacterial, parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) and animal cells. Hypoxanthine is a component of selection media used in hybridoma technologies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hypoxanthine is capable of stimulating cell death. It can also induce reactive oxygen species (ROS). It results in endothelial dysfunction via apoptosis, stimulated by oxidative stress.

Questions

  1. What is the solubility of HYPOXANTHINE in water and How to dissolve HYPOXANTHINE in water for cell culture.

    1 answer
    1. The compound should be dissolved initially at 50mg/mL in a 2:1 mixture of Formic acid and water, respectively. Once dissolved, the stock can be diluted in a buffer or culture medium. This is not a sterile product. Stock solutions should be filter sterilized prior to adding to sterile medium.
