4-[2-(2-Amino-4,7-dihydro-4-oxo-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)ethyl]benzoic acid(Cat No.:R008587)is a multifunctional heterocyclic compound featuring a fused pyrrolopyrimidine core linked via an ethyl chain to a para-substituted benzoic acid. The structure mimics purine analogs, making it a valuable scaffold in the development of antimetabolites and enzyme inhibitors, particularly for cancer and antiviral therapies. The amino and carboxylic acid groups enhance aqueous solubility and binding potential, while the extended aromatic system facilitates π–π interactions. It is widely explored in nucleoside-based drug design and biochemical pathway modulation.
