2-Thioadenosine

It also has uses in scientific research to study cell signaling pathways and metabolic processes, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling and the metabolism of thiopurines. Additionally, derivatives of 2-thioadenosine are explored for other applications, such as coronary vascular vasodilation. 2-Thioadenosine serves as a pharmaceutical intermediate in the synthesis of drugs, most notably cangrelor, a platelet aggregation inhibitor used to prevent blood clots during stenting.
