Adenine, a key player in biology and medicinal chemistry by Fillion, Alexandra, Vichier-Guerre, Sophie, Arimondo, Paola Barbara

“…In addition of being one of the four nucleobases constituting DNA and RNA, adenine is also contained in many biological molecules (ATP, SAM, NAD, cAMP, coA ...) that have fundamental roles in the functioning of living systems, e.g. energy source, cofactors of enzymes and proteins. As such, the adenine has naturally become a privileged scaffold explored in medicinal chemistry for biomedical applications. …”
