Description

6-Dimethylamino-9-(b-D-ribofuranosyl)purine (6-DMAP) is an analog of adenine that has been shown to have anticancer activity in human serum and tissue culture. 6-DMAP can inhibit the synthesis of ATP, leading to cell death by significantly inhibiting cellular processes such as glycolysis and DNA replication. 6-DMAP also has a significant cytotoxicity on various types of cancer cells and plant tissues. The mechanism of action for the anticancer activity of 6-DMAP is not yet known, but it may be due to its ability to interfere with purine metabolism or its ability to form covalent bonds with DNA.
