Adenosinum triphosphoricum

Adenosinum triphosphoricum dinatrium; Adenosine triphosphate (ATP); Adenosine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt; IUPAC: [[[(2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(6-aminopurin-9-yl)-3,4-dihydroxyoxolan-2-yl]methoxy-hydroxyphosphoryl]oxy-hydroxyphosphoryl] phosphate · ATP; Adenosine triphosphate; the "energy currency" molecule

Modern MM

A modern sarcode/metabolite remedy whose sphere of action centers on energy and vitality, the nervous system (anxiety, concentration), the head (sudden brief headaches), sleep and vivid dreams, and vasomotor heat/flushing. Most homeopathic symptom content comes from a formal proving; its use in low energy and metabolic states draws additionally on ATP's known role as the body's energy molecule.

Key symptoms

Anxiety that prevents sleep, sometimes felt in the stomach; apathy with distractibility and difficulty concentrating. Sudden, very intense but brief headaches (10–15 minutes) located between the eyes. Pressing pains (ears, temples). Sensations of heat with flushing of the cheeks, head, and forehead. Fantastic, vividly colorful, pleasant dreams. Intense thirst; desire for fruit and sweets. Marked suddenness in the appearance of symptoms (e.g., a headache or an urge to urinate coming on abruptly). Worse in the afternoon. (All from David S. Riley's proving.)

Worse (aggravation)

Afternoon. Sudden onset of complaints.

Better (amelioration)

Insufficiently characterized in the available proving record; no reliable ameliorations are documented to report.

Source & Nature

Adenosinum triphosphoricum is the homeopathic preparation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy-carrier of living cells. ATP is a nucleotide — adenine joined to ribose (adenosine) and a chain of three phosphate groups (free acid C10H16N5O13P3, MW 507.18, CAS 56-65-5, PubChem CID 5957). Because it is a normal constituent of the human body, the remedy is classed as a sarcode rather than a drug or mineral.

The form actually used in the pharmacy is generally the water-soluble disodium salt, Adenosinum triphosphoricum dinatrium (Adenosine Triphosphate Disodium, PubChem CID 13803), which is also the basis of the published proving.
