Description

4,6-Dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine is a protonated form of the compound 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine. It is a member of the group p2 of nitrogenous bases and has a hydrogen bond interaction with its base pair. The reaction mechanism for this molecule is similar to that of other tricyclic antidepressant drugs, as it involves an intermolecular hydrogen bonding reaction where the deprotonated hydroxyl group on one molecule transfers a proton to the adjacent nitrogen atom on another molecule. 4,6-Dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine has been shown to be active in cervical cancer cells and is capable of inhibiting DNA synthesis and protein synthesis. This compound also has antihistamine effects which are likely due to its hydrogen bonding interactions with histamine receptors.
