2-Aminopurine

Description:
2-Aminopurine is a purine derivative with the chemical formula C5H6N4, characterized by the presence of an amino group at the 2-position of the purine ring. It is a white to light yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. This compound is known for its role as a nucleobase analog, which can substitute for adenine in nucleic acids, leading to mutations during DNA replication. Due to its structural similarity to adenine, 2-aminopurine can interfere with normal base pairing, making it a valuable tool in molecular biology and genetics for studying DNA processes. Additionally, it has been investigated for its potential applications in cancer research and as a plant growth regulator. The compound exhibits moderate toxicity, and safety precautions should be taken when handling it in laboratory settings. Overall, 2-aminopurine serves as an important compound in both research and practical applications in biochemistry.
