Description
Adenosine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt is a sodium salt of adenosine 5'-diphosphate. Adenosine 5'-diphosphate disodium salt has been shown to inhibit the binding of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) to 5-HT2 receptors, which are present in heart tissue.
Chemical Properties
White crystalline powder
Uses
Adenosine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Application
Adenosine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt is found in the extract of plants such as salvianolic acid and rhizoma gastrodiae, as well as in dinucleotide phosphate. This product has been shown to have cardioprotective effects against ischemia reperfusion injury in animal models. It also has congestive heart failure activity, which may be due to its ability to relax vascular smooth muscle and increase the diameter of lymphatic vessels.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP) is an adenine nucleotide involved in energy storage and nucleic acid metabolism via its conversion into ATP by ATP synthases. ADP affects platelet activation through its interaction with purinergic receptors P2Y1 and P2Y12. Upon its conversion to adenosine by ecto-ADPases, platelet activation is inhibited via adenosine receptors.
