6-Methylpurine (MeP) is a toxic adenine analog used as a bisubstrate inhibitor of enzymes that bind adenosyl moieties and which may become phosphorylated to levels that inhibit RNA and protein synthesis.

L-Dopa, the standard therapeutic for Parkinson's disease, is inactivated by the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). COMT catalyzes the transfer of an activated methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to its catechol substrates, such as L-dopa, in the presence of magnesium ions. The

Patients with 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis are either completely or partially deficient in adenine phosphoribosyltransferase activities. Patients with partial enzyme deficiencies, all of whom have been found among Japanese, are homozygotes having a unique mutant adenine phosphoribosyltransferase gene (APRT*J) in double dose

Expression of Escherichia coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) activates prodrugs and kills entire populations of mammalian cells, even when as few as 1% of the cells express this gene. This phenomenon of bystander killing has been previously investigated for herpes

Among three unrelated patients with recurrent 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis, two completely lacked adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) in both erythrocytes and proliferative T cells. The third patient possessed significant enzyme activities in both hemolysates and T-cell extracts at levels comparable to heterozygotes for
Parabens and sorbic acid are commonly used as food preservatives due to their antimicrobial effect. However, their use in foods for infants and young children is not permitted in the European Union. Previous studies found these compounds in some gel-filled
