Product Description

Xanthane Hydride (5-amino-3H-1,2,4-dithiazole-3-thione, C2H2N2S3, MW 150.2) is a sulfur-rich heterocycle used mainly as a sulfurizing reagent in phosphoramidite oligonucleotide synthesis. It is also known as ADTT or XH.

After each coupling step, the newly formed phosphite triester is treated with a Xanthane Hydride solution, typically in pyridine or acetonitrile/pyridine mixtures. The reagent transfers a sulfur atom to phosphorus, giving the phosphorothioate linkage that increases nuclease resistance of antisense oligonucleotides, siRNA and other therapeutic oligonucleotides.

Compared with other sulfur-transfer reagents, Xanthane Hydride is a simple, low-molecular-weight solid that is stable at room temperature and in the presence of air and moisture, which makes it convenient to store and handle. It has been reported as an efficient sulfur-transfer reagent for large-scale synthesis of oligonucleotide phosphorothioates.

For procurement, check HPLC purity, appearance, loss on drying and solubility in the intended sulfurization solvent, as impurities can affect sulfurization efficiency and the P=O content of the final oligonucleotide. KingPharm provides a COA for each batch; specification and SDS are available on request.
