Adenine (6-Aminopurine)

Description: Adenine (formerly NSC 14666; NSC-14666; NSC14666; 6-Aminopurine; Vitamin B4), one of the four chemical/nucleobases in DNA, is a purine derivative and a nucleobase with a variety of functions in biochemistry. Adenine is used as an active component of boron-deficient media to grow yeast in order to assess whether yeast growth is stimulated by boron. It is useful as a local antiseptic and vitamin B4. Further, it is used in the microbial determination of niacin. It is also employed as a food supplement for adult rats to investigate the effects of dietary adenine overload.
