Inosinic acid (IMP) is a nucleotide that plays a central role in purine metabolism and is also an important flavor enhancer in food[1]. Inosinic acid can be further converted into adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP), and it participates in the energy metabolism process within cells[2]. Inosinic acid is commonly used as a food additive (E630), and when used in combination with monosodium glutamate (MSG), Inosinic acid significantly enhances the umami flavor of food and is widely used in feed additives[3]. Inosinic acid also shows potential research value in immune regulation and neuroprotection[4].
In vitro, treatment of lineage⁻/low bone marrow cells with Inosinic acid (15mM) for 15–30 minutes activates the pAkt and pS6 signaling pathways, stimulating the upregulation of cKit membrane expression and promoting the proliferation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMP) and the generation of Gr-1⁺ granulocytes[5].
In vivo, Inosinic acid (45mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected 15 minutes after X-ray irradiation to treat male Kv:SHK strain mice that had undergone 7Gy total body irradiation. Inosinic acid significantly increased the survival rate after a lethal dose of irradiation, alleviated radiation-induced leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, and reduced the level of DNA damage in bone marrow and thymus cells[6]. Inosinic acid (1000mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into 10- to 12-week-old C57BL/6J mice with sepsis. Inosinic acid significantly inhibited TNF-α production in sepsis and enhanced IL-10 levels[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Lineage-/low bone marrow cells (murine hematopoietic progenitor cells) |
Preparation Method | Lineage-/low cells were isolated from wild-type C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow using a lineage cell depletion kit. Cells were cultured in SFEM medium supplemented with 10ng/mL stem cell factor, 10ng/mL thrombopoietin, and 10ng/mL IL-3 at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with Inosinic acid at concentrations of 0-15mM for 24-72 hours. |
Reaction Conditions | 0-15mM; 24-72h. |
Applications | Inosinic acid treatment significantly stimulated granulocyte-monocyte progenitor (GMP) cell proliferation and Gr-1+ granulocyte production in a dose-dependent manner. Inosinic acid enhanced BrdU incorporation into GMP cells by 1.3-fold and increased the proportion of Gr-1+ cells by 1.4-fold compared to control cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6 mice |
Preparation Method | Mice were intraperitoneally administered Inosinic acid (1000mg/kg) 30 minutes prior to LPS (10mg/kg, i.p.) challenge. Plasma and organ samples (spleen, liver, lung) were collected 90 minutes post-LPS for cytokine analysis. For bacterial sepsis models, Inosinic acid (1000mg/kg, i.p.) was administered 1 hour before cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or intranasal bacterial infection (Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli). |
Dosage form | 1000mg/kg; i.p. |
Applications | Inosinic acid significantly suppressed TNF-α production and augmented IL-10 levels in endotoxemic mice. |
