Application

Inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) is used as a substrate to study the distribution, specificity and kinetics of inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH).
Inosine 5′-monophosphate disodium salt hydrate has been used:
  • as a 5′-ribonucleotide tastant compound in taste-detection threshold tests in chicks
  • for standard curve generation in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to quantify IMP from prawn tail tissue samples
  • as a component of McCoy′s 5A complete medium for Plasmodium vivax culture

Biochem/physiol Actions

Inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP) is a dietary nucleotide that is synthesized from adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in eukaryotes. It is a food additive and is essential for intestinal health and immunity.
Inosine monophosphate, or inosinic acid, is the ribonucleotide of hypoxanthine and the first nucleotide formed during purine synthesis.

IMPDH (inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo biosynthetic pathway of guanine nucleotides, which is usually up-regulated in human leukaemia cell lines. Our previous studies have classified gnidilatimonoein, isolated from Daphne mucronata, as an IMPDH inhibitor
