Cyclic Di- and Tri-Nucleotides

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) and Cyclic trinucleotides (CTNs) consist of two or three nucleotides linked by phosphodiester bonds, forming a ring-like structure. Their unique architecture allows them to act as signaling molecules acrcoss diverse organisms with essential roles in bacterial communication and immune response activation.[1-4]

Our CDNs and CTNs are endotoxin free (≤ 2.5 EU/ml by chromogenic LAL test) and thus ideally suited for cell culture applications.
