6-(γ,γ-Dimethylallylamino)purine-d₆

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].
Derivative UV spectroscopic data show that the plant growth substances 6-(γ,γ-Dimethylallylamino)purine (N6-(delta 2-isopentenyl) adenine, i6Ade)and indolylacetic acid (IAA) can bind to the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and affect coenzyme-enzyme binding. At fixed ethanol concentrations (27.8 and 111.1 mM) and varying NAD⁺ concentrations (0.033-2 mM), as well as at fixed levels of coenzyme (0.67 and 2 mM), and at varying concentrations of ethanol (1.4-111.1 mM), the rate of ethanol oxidation is significantly inhibited by i6Ade and IAA. The kinetics of the ADH reaction is affected by two inhibition constants (K_i and K_i') which correspond to the dissociation constants of complexes EI and ESI, respectively. For i6Ade the K_i=0.52±0.06 mM and K_i'=0.74±0.07 mM, and for IAA the K_i=0.88±0.03 mM and K_i'=0.99±0.02 mM^[2].
