CAS 120-73-0: Purine

Purine

Applications Purine (cas# 120-73-0) is a useful research chemical.

7H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyrimidine is a small molecule that exhibits receptor activity against toll-like receptors. It has been shown to inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in HL60 cells. 7H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyrimidine also inhibits the activities of enzymes involved in purine metabolism and cellular metabolic processes, as well as intracellular targets including protein kinases, phosphatases and transcription factors. 7H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyrimidine has been shown to be effective against solid tumours such as murine sarcoma virus and plant tumors. This drug also inhibits the enzymatic activity of p2y receptors that are involved in inflammation and platelet aggregation.

Purine

Purine: an aromatic compound with fused pyrimidine & imidazole rings, turned into uric acid by enzymes; excessive uric acid can lead to gout.

Purine is a nucleotide base for proteomics research. It is also a significant component of many biomolecules such as adenine triphosphate, guanine triphosphate, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and coenzyme. Further, it is useful in medicinal chemistry as a building block. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
