6-Methylthioguanine Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

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.

Definition

ChEBI: 6-methylthioguanine is a metabolite of thioguanine, a drug used in cancer chemotherapy. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a member of 2-aminopurines and a thiopurine. It is functionally related to a tioguanine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Amino-6-methylmercaptopurine is synthesized from 6-mercaptopurine by the S methylation activity of thiopurine methyl transferase (TMPT) enzyme.
