Metabolite Identification
Common Name6-isopentenyladenine
Description6-isopentenyladenine is a purine derivative belonging to the class of cytokinins, which are plant hormones that play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes. This compound is involved in promoting cell division and differentiation, influencing apical dominance, and delaying leaf senescence. Research has focused on its receptor properties in plants, leading to the development of fluorescent derivatives of 6-[(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)amino]purine (N6-isopentenyladenine, iP) to better understand these interactions (PMID:29524794 ). Moreover, studies have shown that modifications to its structure can significantly affect its biological activity; for instance, the introduction of a methyl group at position N9 resulted in at least a two-fold increase in inhibitory activity compared to an isopropyl substitution (PMID:20208357 ). These findings underscore the importance of structural variations in the biological efficacy of 6-isopentenyladenine and its derivatives, highlighting its potential applications in agricultural biotechnology and plant research.
