6-Hydroxyaminopurine (2), 6-nitrosopurine (3), 6-nitropurine (4), adenine 1
-oxide (5), adenine 3-oxide (6), adenine 7-oxide (7), and 9-hydroxyadenine
(8) may be accepted as members of the N-x-oxygenated adenine family. The ch
emistry, physicochemical properties, and biological activities of these N-x
-oxygenated adenines are reviewed with 214 reference citations.
