GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
Purine is a heterocyclic compound featured by a fused pyrimidine and imidazole rings composed of carbon and nitrogen atoms. The simplest one is purine itself and the two major purines are adenine(6-Aminopurine) and guanine(2-Amino-6-hydroxypurine). Other important purines are caffeine, uric acid, theobromine, and theophylline. Purine and its derivatives are biologically important components of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) and coenzymes. Chemically modified nucleotides substituted or attached by special chemical groups or elements are studied and used to inactivate the normal biological operation in the living organism and the function of important enzymes. Azaguanine is one of the purine analogs showing antimetabolite activity. It is easily incorporated into ribonucleic acids and functions as an antineoplastic.
