2-Mercaptopurine is a purine analog as an antimetabolite. It is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT), which plays a role in the salvage pathway of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. By inhibiting this enzyme, 2-mercaptopurine disrupts the synthesis of DNA and RNA, ultimately leading to cell death. 2-Mercaptopurine is particularly useful in the study of purine metabolism and the development of anticancer.
