What is Cordycepin powder?
Cordycepine powder, cas no. 73-03-0, known as 3′-deoxyadenosine, was initially isolated from the fungus Cordyceps militaris.
Source of 3′-deoxyadenosine
- Fermentation extraction
The original strain did not produce a lot of Cordycepin powder. Still, by improving the culture procedures and conditions along with the proper culture medium, the yield of Cordycepin may be enhanced.
- Biosynthesis
Bioinformatics was used to identify potential synthetic gene clusters based on the genome analysis of Cordyceps militaris. The four proteins that the gene cluster encodes were examined for their gene functions. Adenosine 3′-OH was phosphorylated, dephosphorylated, then subjected to a redox process to create Cordycepin.
- Chemical synthesis
Adenosine was converted into cordycepin using a gentle and environmentally friendly process, yielding 99% HPLC purity.
Where to buy pure Cordycepin powder
Cima Science has a professional R&D and production team to produce pure cordycepin powder with high purity.
The manufacturing process of Cordycepin powder
Adenosine can be used as the starting material to make Cordycepin, which can then be made by reacting it with trimethyl orthoacetate to form the intermediate of 2′,3′-hydroxygenic acid esterification; adding acetyl bromide, hydrolyzing, and further preparing 2′,5′- o-diacetyl-3 ‘Bromo adenosine;2′,5’- o-diacetyl-3 ‘- deoxyadenosine is prepared by reduction; Cordycepin was synthesized by hydrolyzing and removing acetyl groups on the hydroxyl group of the sugar ring.
