General description

6-(Dimethylamino)purine (6-DMAP) is a purine-based metabolite with two condensed heterocyclic rings and two methyl groups linked to the amino group of the purine unit of adenine.

Application

6-(Dimethylamino)purine has been used:
  • as a supplement in GR-1 aa medium (bovine medium) for parthenogenetic activation of bovine oocytes to study its potential for embryo development
  • in the activation step during the production of nuclear transfer embryos
  • as a supplement in HCR2aa medium to activate interspecies embryos derived from interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) technique

Biochem/physiol Actions

6-(Dimethylamino)purine (6-DMAP) is a protein kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. It acts as a secondary metabolite and mediates RNA modification. 6-DMAP is a potent cytokinetic inhibitor and is used in parthenogenesis and meiosis studies. It is also used to promote pronuclei formation in mammalian oocytes. 6-DMAP is a dual fluorescence molecule according to femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion spectroscopy studies.
