Psicofuranine Inhibitor

Psicofuranine also specifically inhibits GMP synthase and interrupts parasite growth. Psicofuramine is a nucleoside antibiotic. It has the inhibition of xanthosine 5'-phosphate aminase. Psicofuranine shows dose-dependent inhibition of P. falciparum growth(IC50: 0.3 mM).

Small volumes of Psicofuranine, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
