| 6-Methylthioguanine Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | off-white crystalline powder | | Uses | As a metabolite of 2’-Deoxy-6-thio Guanosine (D281650) and 6-Thioguanine, 6-Methylthioguanine can be used as an effective immunosuppressant and anticancer agent, however chronic exposure can be mutagenic in human cells as long-term use of thiopurines was found to be associated with a significantly increased risk of various types of cancer.
| | Uses | 2-Amino-6-methylmercaptopurine is a 2-amino-6-alkyldithiopurine that has been used with other 6-position carbon analogues to study brain specific diazepam binding. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | 2-Amino-6-methylmercaptopurine is synthesized from 6-mercaptopurine by the S methylation activity of thiopurine methyl transferase (TMPT) enzyme. |
