Description

9-(n-Butyl)-6-Mercaptopurine is a chemically modified purine derivative, specifically an alkylated analog of the well-known pharmaceutical agent 6-mercaptopurine. This modification imparts distinct physicochemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents. It is primarily sought by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in oncology and immunology drug discovery programs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of novel purine-based anticancer and immunosuppressive drug candidates.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard or probe in enzymatic studies related to purine metabolism and nucleotide analog activity.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a specialized starting material or reagent for the preparation of more complex, functionally diverse purine derivatives.
• Academic Research: Employed in universities and research institutes for investigating structure-activity relationships (SAR) of mercaptopurine analogs.

Quality Control

Our 9-(n-Butyl)-6-Mercaptopurine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage of opened containers and to minimize exposure to air.
