Duchenne muscular dystrophy is initiated by dystrophin loss but is accompanied by profound metabolic remodelling. Here, we identify suppression of the muscle-enriched adenylosuccinate synthase, ADSS1, and the purine nucleotide cycle in mdx muscle. Integrated multi-omic profiling revealed a compensated purine-stress state in which nucleotide salvage and quality control were increased to preserve adenine nucleotide abundance and buffer consequential toxic/disruptive deoxy-/nucleotide production. Purine metabolism was the highest-impact joint pathway with metabolite and transcript hits in mdx muscle, and its maintenance program was directionally conserved in human ADSS1 myopathy. Interventions positioned around ADSS1 separated the outputs of this node. Ribose and dimethyl fumarate remodelled upstream or downstream stress programs, whereas only adenylosuccinic acid bypassed ADSS1 to expand the adenine nucleotide pool and remodel CoA/acetyl-CoA metabolism. All three interventions suppressed pro-adipogenic transcription without broadly correcting the lipidome. These findings identify ADSS1 as a regulated metabolic control node that couples purine retention to inflammatory and adipogenic remodelling in dystrophic muscle.
