The 7-N-Oxides of Purines Related to Nucleic Acids: Their Chemistry, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation
摘要:
Recent advances in the chemistry, synthesis, and biological evaluation of the 7-N-oxides of purines related to nucleic acids are reviewed. The 7-N-oxides covered are those of guanine (1), adenine (2), and hypoxanthine (3) and of related compounds such as 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) (72), the 6-thioxo analogue of 3, and 6-methylthiopurine, a simple model for azathioprine (78), which were all unknown until recently.
