2,6-Dichloro-9-isopropyl-9H-purine

2,6-Dichloro-9-isopropylpurine is a hydrogenated purine derivative that belongs to the class of organometallic compounds. It is cytotoxic and causes significant cytotoxicity in colorectal carcinoma cells. The anticancer activity of 2,6-Dichloro-9-isopropylpurine may be due to its ability to inhibit DNA synthesis by cross-coupling with purines or by inhibiting the formation of hydrogen bonds between purines and their adjacent bases. This compound has been shown to be effective in treating wheat leaves infected with fungi, such as Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium graminearum.

Applications Bohemine cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor for the treatment of leukemia or other cancer. References Malumbres, M., et al.: Biol. Chem., 381 827 (2000), Li, M., et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 277, 46385 (2002), Li, M., et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 279, 17459 (2004).
