6-AZATHYMINE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

6-Azathymine, a 6-nitrogen analog of thymine, is a potent D-3-aminoisobutyrate-pyruvate aminotransferase inhibitor. 6-Azathymine inhibits the biosynthesis of DNA, and has antibacterial and antiviral activities[1][2][3][4].

Definition

ChEBI: A nucleobase analogue that is thymine in which the CH group at position 6 is replaced by nitrogen.

in vivo

The administration of 6-Azathymine to the mouse leads to the urinary elimination not only of free Azathymine, but also of various metabolites of it. Following the administration of 6-Azathymine-5-14C to mice, radioactivity is found in all tissues investigated, not only in the form of free Azathymine, but also as metabolic derivatives[3].
