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.

Postovulatory ageing of mammalian oocytes occurs between their ovulation and fertilization and has been shown to decrease their developmental capabilities. Aged oocytes display numerous abnormalities, including altered Ca2+ signalling. Fertilization-induced Ca2+ oscillations are essential for activation of the embryonic development
