Guanine
Guanine (CAS: 73-40-5) is one of the five fundamental nucleobases, supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is a key raw material for nucleoside and nucleotide synthesis and an important intermediate in the production of antiviral drugs such as acyclovir. It also serves as a starting material for biochemical research and for the manufacture of related purine derivatives. The compound is practically insoluble in water and is handled as a stable, free-flowing powder under dry conditions. Customers select it where a reliable purine base for pharmaceutical intermediate programs is required.
