Application
2-Amino-6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MTG) has been used as a supplement in Dulbecco′s modified Eagles medium (DMEM) medium for the selection of gpt-expressing recombinant virus mCMVhMIEPE-gpt.lacZ (cytomegalovirus major immediate-early promotor-enhancer complex-gpt.lacz). It has also been used as a standard in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to assess the activity of thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) enzyme.
2-Amino-6-methylmercaptopurine is a 2-amino-6-alkyldithiopurine that has been used with other 6-position carbon analogues to study brain specific diazepam binding.
Biochem/physiol Actions
2-Amino-6-methylmercaptopurine is synthesized from 6-mercaptopurine by the S methylation activity of thiopurine methyl transferase (TMPT) enzyme.

Various derivatives of 2-amino-6- methylthiopurine with substituents at the 6-position of purine were tested for their abilities to displace [3H]diazepam binding to rat brain membranes. The potency was dependent on the carbon chain-length in the 6-position of purine. Among the

A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic procedure was developed to quantify 6-thioguanine, 6-mercaptopurine, methylthioguanine, and methylmercaptopurine in red blood cells. The free base of each thiopurine was liberated from the respective nucleoside and nucleotide moiety by acid hydrolysis, which
