6-(Methylamino)purine（Cat No.:R027742）, also known as kinetin, is a synthetic cytokinin, a class of plant hormones that regulate cell division, growth, and differentiation. Structurally, it is a purine derivative with a methylamino group at the 6-position, which enhances its biological activity. Kinetin is widely used in plant tissue culture to promote shoot formation and delay senescence. Beyond its agricultural applications, it has also been studied for its antioxidant and anti-aging properties in cosmetic and biomedical fields. Its ability to modulate cell signaling makes it valuable in both plant biotechnology and pharmaceutical research.
