Adenine (Synonyms: 6-Aminopurine; Vitamin B4, CAS: 73-24-5), a purine, is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of DNA. Adenine acts as a chemical component of DNA and RNA. Adenine (CAS: 73-24-5) also plays an important role in biochemistry involved in cellular respiration, the form of both ATP and the cofactors (NAD and FAD), and protein synthesis. Adenine (CAS: 73-24-5) is used as an active component of boron-deficient media to grow yeast in order to assess whether yeast growth is stimulated by boron. It is useful as a local antiseptic and vitamin B4. Further, it is used in the microbial determination of niacin. Adenine (CAS: 73-24-5) is also employed as a food supplement for adult rats to investigate the effects of dietary adenine overload. In addition to this, it is used in the production of nucleotides of the nucleic acids. For the production of adenosine, ATP, ADP, an anti-AIDS drug and vitamin B4 and plant growth hormone 6-benzyl adenine, also used in pharmaceutical and biochemical research.
