Metabolite Identification
Common Name6-Benzylaminopurine
Description6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BAP), also known as N6-benzyladenine or cytokinin B, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 6-alkylaminopurines. 6-Alkylaminopurines are compounds that contain an alkylamine group attached at the 6-position of a purine. Purine is a bicyclic aromatic compound made up of a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring. 6-Benzylaminopurine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, 6-benzylaminopurine has been detected, but not quantified in, garden tomato (var.) and wild celeries. This could make 6-benzylaminopurine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 6-Benzylaminopurine is a synthetic cytokinin applied externally postharvest to maintain the quality, delay senescence, and improve the nutritional value of green vegetables (PMID: 22148319 ).
