    Product Description

    D-Eritadenine is an adenosine analog and a potent, reversible inhibitor of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAAH; IC50 = 7 nM).1 It inhibits growth of C. parvum parasites (MIC50 = 3 μM) without exhibiting cytotoxicity in HCT-8 cells (CC50 = >1 mM).2 Dietary administration of D-eritadenine (50 mg/kg) increases liver microsomal phosphatidylethanolamine concentration and decreases liver microsomal Δ6 desaturase activity and plasma cholesterol levels in rats.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
