Adenine (abbr. A), an integral base of deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid, plays a key role in life processes of human body. It participates in synthesis of DNA and RNA in vivo, modulates activity of adenylate cyclase, controls blood flow, prevents cardiac arrhythmias, inhibits a neurotransmitter release and promotes the growth of white blood cells when they are deficiency. Adenine also participates in the intracellular energy transfer in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, adenine is not only an important vitamin of the human body, but also a clinical drug, commonly used in the prevention and treatment of arrhythmia, leucopenia and neutropenia.
The interaction of adenine with metal ions contributes to the understanding of the reaction between metal ions and nucleotide or nucleoside. Palladium chloride is used to prepare special catalysts and molecular sieves, and it can be sublimated and decomposed at 600°C. Its dihydrate is dark red hygroscopic crystal. It can be used to prepare coatings of non-conductor materials; to make gas-sensitive components, analytical reagents, etc.
