2-Amino-1H-purin-6(7H)-one sulfate

2-Amino-1H-purin-6(7H)-one sulfate is the sulfate salt form of guanine, one of the four main nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA. It is commonly used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and biochemical research, particularly in the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and other bioactive compounds. The sulfate form improves the compound's stability and handling during chemical processes. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is primarily used in laboratory and industrial applications rather than as a therapeutic drug itself.
