7-Methyl-6-mercaptopurine
7-Methyl-6-mercaptopurine is a purine biosynthesis inhibitor that targets PRPP aminotransferase and blocks IMP metabolism, thereby suppressing nucleic acid synthesis. This mechanism supports its use in biochemical and cancer research, including studies on cell proliferation in vitro.
