WHAT DOES INOSINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Inosine

Inosine is a nucleoside that is formed when hypoxanthine is attached to a ribose ring via a β-N9-glycosidic bond. Inosine is commonly found in tRNAs and is essential for proper translation of the genetic code in wobble base pairs. Knowledge of inosine metabolism has led to advances in immunotherapy in recent decades. Inosine monophosphate is oxidised by the enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, yielding xanthosine monophosphate, a key precursor in purine metabolism. Mycophenolate mofetil is an anti-metabolite, anti-proliferative drug that acts as an inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase. It is used in the treatment of a variety of autoimmune diseases including Wegener's granulomatosis because the uptake of purine by actively dividing B cells can exceed 8 times that of normal body cells, and, therefore, this set of white cells is selectively targeted by the purine deficiency resulting from IMD inhibition.

Definition of inosine in the English dictionary

The definition of inosine in the dictionary is a nucleoside, C10H12N4O5, formed from the attachment of hypoxanthine to a ribose ring, and which is used as a temporary source of sugar during kidney transportation.
