Description

9-(2-Hydroxyethyl)adenine is a synthetic adenine derivative that has been used in the study of the structural and functional theory of DNA. It is a residue that is found in both RNA and DNA. Adenine forms hydrogen bonds with thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. 9-(2-Hydroxyethyl)adenine can be used to analyze environmental pollution by measuring the amount of free hydroxyl radicals present in a sample. It reacts spontaneously with other molecules at constant rates, but its reaction time depends on the number of complex molecules it interacts with. 9-(2-Hydroxyethyl)adenine has been shown to have anticancer effects on carcinoma cells by inhibiting ribonucleotide reductase activity.
