6-Dimethylaminopurin

Verwenden6-Dimethylaminopurine is a serine threonine protein kinase inhibitor. It inhibits the germinal vesicle breakdown and the meiotic maturation of oocytes. It can be used to rtificially lengthen the pre-maturation period of oocyte growth, in vitro, by inhibiting germinal vesicle breakdown in mouse and human oocytes.

synthetische6-Dimethylaminopurine synthesis: 2-Methylmercapto-4-amino-6-dimethylaminopyrimidine (VI) was smoothly nitrosated in 10% acetic acid to the 5-nitrosopyrimidine (V) in 95% yield. Reduction of V with sodium hydrosulfite to the triamine (IV), followed by formylation gave the 5-formamidopyrimidine (VII) in 76% over-all yield for the two steps. Reductive formylation of V directly to VI1 with zinc and formic acid, although more rapid, was less efficient (50% yield). Ring closure of VII to 2-methyhercapto-6-dimethylaminopurine (X) was best done on a small scale by short fusion at 250°(99% yield), although boiling quinoline, formamide, or dilute alcoholic sodium hydroxide could also be employed. The latter reagent was most efficient on a large scale. Desulfurization of X with Raney nickel (7) in 1 N sodium hydroxide at 100° afforded the final product, 6-dimethylaminopurine (XII) in 43% yield.This compound was identical in all respects with the C7H9N5 moiety from puromycin (2).
