Application

6-Methylmercaptopurine riboside (6MMPR) has been used as a phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase inhibitor to study its effects on DNA replication in a retinoblastoma (Rb) phosphorylation-independent manner in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) , as a purine analog to determine its effects on angiogenesis of endothelial cells induced by fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) in vitro and in vivo, as a metabolite of 6-methylmercaptopurine to determine its levels in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method .
6-Methylmercaptopurine riboside (6MMPr) is used in studies on thiopurine metabolism by enzymes such as inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase and thiopurine methyltransferase. 6MMPr may also be used to study mechanisms of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) inhibition.

Biochem/physiol Actions

6-Methylmercaptopurine riboside (6MMPR) is a modified thiopurine nucleoside involved in the inhibition of purine synthesis. It exhibits anti-viral effects against various viruses. 6MMPR is an analog of purine and an inhibitor of nerve growth factor-activated protein kinase N.

Mercaptopurines have been used as anticancer agents for more than 40 years, and most acute lymphoblastic leukemias are treated with 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) or 6-thioguanine (TG). Overexpression of the two related multidrug resistance proteins MRP4 and MRP5 has been shown to

The prodrugs azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine, which are well-established anticancer and immunosuppressive agents, are extensively metabolized by activating and inactivating enzymes. Whereas the 6-thioguanine nucleotides (TGN) are currently being considered as major active metabolites, methylthioinosine nucleotides seem to contribute to the

The PA3004 gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was originally annotated as a 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP). However, the PA3004 encoded protein uses 5'-methylthioinosine (MTI) as a preferred substrate and represents the only known example of a specific MTI phosphorylase (MTIP). MTIP
