Inosine is a purine nucleoside formed by the deamination of adenosine. It has been used as a medication for various conditions, such as immunomodulation or neuroprotection, but it is not widely approved or in common use today. Its utility in clinical practice is limited and not supported by major regulatory agencies.
No published pharmacokinetic data are available for inosine in humans; the following parameters are estimates based on its structural similarity to adenosine and other nucleosides, as well as general pharmacokinetic principles.
