Inosine, a vital nucleoside present in all living organisms, holds significant importance in various biological research domains. Serving as a purine nucleoside, it is an essential constituent of the genetic code. Inosine plays a pivotal role in nucleic acid synthesis and contributes to gene expression regulation. Its versatile applications encompass diverse scientific research areas. In vitro studies have shed light on the role of inosine in examining nucleic acid functions associated with gene expression regulation and cancer progression. Furthermore, Inosine has contributed significantly to exploring the biochemical and physiological impacts of nucleic acids. As a purine nucleoside, Inosine binds to the ribosome, the site of protein synthesis, and serves as a template for mRNA synthesis. Additionally, Inosine interacts with DNA acting as a template for DNA synthesis. Moreover, it binds to RNA, which constitutes the cell′s genetic material, and facilitates protein synthesis.
