溶解性

methanol: 50 mg/mL, clear to slightly hazy, colorless to faintly yellow

应用

6-Methylmercaptopurine riboside (6MMPR) has been used as a phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase inhibitor to study its effects on DNA replication in a retinoblastoma (Rb) phosphorylation-independent manner in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) , as a purine analog to determine its effects on angiogenesis of endothelial cells induced by fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) in vitro and in vivo, as a metabolite of 6-methylmercaptopurine to determine its levels in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method . 6-Methylmercaptopurine riboside (6MMPr) is used in studies on thiopurine metabolism by enzymes such as inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase and thiopurine methyltransferase. 6MMPr may also be used to study mechanisms of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) inhibition.

生化/生理作用

6-Methylmercaptopurine riboside (6MMPR) is a modified thiopurine nucleoside involved in the inhibition of purine synthesis. It exhibits anti-viral effects against various viruses. 6MMPR is an analog of purine and an inhibitor of nerve growth factor-activated protein kinase N.
