Description
Guanine is one of the fundamental components of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) . Guanine is a purine derivative, consisting of a fused pyrimidine-imidazole ring system with conjugated double bonds. Guanine has the potential to serve as a large-capacity N pool. Guanine has cytotoxic, antinociceptive and neuroprotective effects[1][2][3][4].

Chemical Information

Guanine

Guanine is a 2-aminopurine carrying a 6-oxo substituent. It has a role as a mouse metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a human metabolite and an algal metabolite. It is a member of 2-aminopurines, an oxopurine and a purine nucleobase. It derives from a hydride of a 9H-purine.
