2-Amino-8-Thioxo-3,7,8,9-Tetrahydro-6H-Purin-6-One

Applications 2-Amino-6-hydroxy-8-mercaptopurine (cas# 6324-72-7) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.

2-Amino-6-hydroxy-8-mercaptopurine is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to their ribosomes. It has been shown to have a cytotoxic effect in vivo on cancer cells and intestinal parasites, as well as a protective effect against infectious diseases. 2-Amino-6-hydroxy-8-mercaptopurine has also been shown to inhibit the synthesis of proteins in vitro, which may be due to its ability to bind to the ribosomal subunit and inhibit protein synthesis. 2-Amino-6-hydroxy-8-mercaptopurine inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription and replication. The high frequency of human activity has been shown using a patch clamp technique on human erythrocytes. This active form is metabolized through a number of metabolic transformations, including hydrolysis by esterases or gluc
