Product Description
6-Chloropurine is a building block/intermediate of chemical synthesis. Preparation of intermediates of 9-alkylpurine and 6-mercaptopurine. Has anti-tumor activity.
V28993 6-Chloropurine (CAS: 87-42-3) is a halogenated purine derivative that serves as a key building block and intermediate in chemical synthesis. With a molecular formula of C5H3ClN4 and a molecular weight of 154.56 g/mol, it is used in the preparation of 9-alkylpurines, 6-mercaptopurine, and other nucleoside analogs. It is a versatile precursor for a wide range of biologically active compounds, including antiviral and anticancer agents.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
6-Chloropurine is a synthetic intermediate that does not have a specific biological target itself. Its importance lies in its use as a precursor for the synthesis of purine-based drugs. For example, it is used to synthesize 6-mercaptopurine, an antimetabolite that targets purine synthesis in cancer cells, and various nucleoside analogs that target viral polymerases.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 6-Chloropurine is a chemical reagent. Its biological activity is not studied directly, as it is a precursor. However, its derivatives, such as 6-mercaptopurine and 6-thioguanine, are well-characterized for their antimetabolic activity in cancer cells. The compound itself is used in chemical reactions, and its purity and reactivity are characterized using techniques like HPLC and NMR.
ln Vivo
The process by which 6-chloropurine transforms into S-(6-punnyl)glutathione and then further breaks down into 6-mercaptopurine could be a contributing factor to the anticancer activity of 6-chloropurine. [1]. 6-It has been demonstrated that when given together, chloropurine and diazaserine exhibit synergistic anticancer effects against a range of mice cancers [1].
In vivo, 6-Chloropurine is not a therapeutic agent. It is a chemical intermediate used in the manufacturing of drugs. The drugs derived from it, such as 6-mercaptopurine, are used in vivo to treat leukemia and other cancers. Therefore, the in vivo relevance of 6-Chloropurine is tied to the efficacy and safety of the final drug products.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro assay for 6-Chloropurine is not a biological assay. As a chemical intermediate, its identity and purity are confirmed by chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS). These assays ensure that the compound meets the specifications required for use in subsequent synthesis steps.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell culture studies are not applicable to 6-Chloropurine, as it is not a drug or a research probe for biological pathways. It is strictly a chemical intermediate. Its derivatives are studied in cell culture, but the parent compound is not used in such experiments. Its application is in organic synthesis, not in cell biology.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not performed with 6-Chloropurine. The drugs derived from it, such as 6-mercaptopurine, are tested in animal models of cancer. However, the intermediate itself is not administered to animals. It is used in the chemical synthesis of pharmaceutical ingredients, which are then formulated and tested.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
6-Chloropurine is a solid compound with a molecular weight of 154.56 g/mol. It is a stable compound that is stored at room temperature in a cool, dark place (<15°C). It is soluble in organic solvents like DMSO and ethanol. Its chemical properties, such as its reactivity at the 6-chloro position, make it a valuable intermediate for introducing various substituents into the purine ring.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 6-Chloropurine are limited. As a chemical intermediate, it is not intended for human use. It may be an irritant and should be handled with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment. Its toxicity profile is not a primary focus, as it is not a final pharmaceutical product.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
