Inosine

CAS: 58-63-9

Overview

Inosine (CAS 58-63-9 ), also known commercially as Selfer and Pantholic-L, is a naturally occurring purine nucleoside used across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biotechnology applications.

As a biochemical building block and metabolic intermediate, it supports cell culture processes, active ingredient formulation, and skin conditioning systems for various industrial sectors.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this compound is incorporated into injectable preparations and oral dosage forms targeting cellular energy metabolism support and therapeutic development.

Cosmetic formulators use it as a humectant and antioxidant stabilizer in anti-aging creams, serums, and moisturizing treatments where it helps retain moisture and protect formulation integrity.

In biotechnology and life sciences, it serves as a nucleoside supplement in cell culture media, supporting cell viability and growth in complex bioproduction workflows and laboratory research.

It also functions as a reference standard and reagent in analytical and research settings, where high purity and batch consistency are critical procurement considerations for global suppliers.

The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder and is available in pharmaceutical-grade specifications including USP and BP , as well as research-grade and technical-grade options.

Bulk quantities are standard for pharmaceutical and biotech procurement, with smaller packaging available for quality control and formulation development use in specialized manufacturing facilities.
