3-Methyl-6-(methylthio)-3H-purine, with the CAS number 1008-08-8, is a purine derivative characterized by its methyl and methylthio substituents. This compound features a purine core, which is a bicyclic structure composed of a fused imidazole and pyrimidine ring. The presence of the methyl group at the 3-position and the methylthio group at the 6-position contributes to its unique chemical properties and potential biological activities. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents. This compound may exhibit biological significance, particularly in the context of nucleic acid metabolism or as a potential pharmacological agent. Its structural modifications can influence its interactions with enzymes and receptors, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry. As with many purine derivatives, it may also play a role in cellular processes, including energy transfer and signal transduction. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and integrity for research or application purposes.
