Description

6-Methylmercapto-9-(b-D-ribofuranosyl)purine (6MMPR) is a nucleotide analog that is synthesized through the process of ribosylation. It has been shown to be reactive and inflammatory in the colon, which may be due to its role as an enzyme inhibitor. 6MMPR inhibits target enzymes such as 2-methylthio-6-chloropurine riboside, which are involved in DNA synthesis and repair. This drug also has anti-inflammatory properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines by activated immune cells. 6MMPR is used for the treatment of bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
