Adenosine is the canonical purine ribonucleoside, with adenine linked to β-D-ribose. CH64009 is identified by CAS 58-61-7, molecular formula C10H13N5O4, molecular weight 267.24, and PubChem CID 60961; synonyms include 9-β-D-ribofuranosyladenine and adenine riboside.
In CHEMOS product context, CH64009 is positioned for research and nucleoside chemistry rather than pharmacology. Adenosine is used as a reference substrate in adenosine deaminase enzyme-assay work, appears in nucleotide-biosynthesis studies, and serves as an unmodified RNA nucleoside reference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CH64009 the ribose (RNA) form of adenosine?
Yes. Adenosine is the ribonucleoside (adenine + β-D-ribose); it is distinct from 2'-deoxyadenosine, the DNA form, which is cataloged separately.
How is adenosine used in enzyme assays?
It is used as the reference substrate in adenosine deaminase (ADA) assays, where ADA converts adenosine to inosine and analog substrates can be compared against the natural ribonucleoside.
