Pharmaceutical Materials

6-Benzylaminopurine (6-BA), also known as N-benzyladenine or 6-benzyladenine, is a synthetic cytokinin with the molecular formula C₁₂H₁₁N₅ and a molecular weight of 225.25 g/mol. As the first-generation synthetic cytokinin, 6-BA promotes cell division, inhibits chlorophyll degradation, and delays senescence in plants, making it widely used in agriculture for enhancing crop yield, fruit set, and post-harvest preservation. It also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of polymers, adhesives, and specialty chemicals. Physically, 6-BA appears as a white crystalline powder, insoluble in water but soluble in dilute acids, bases, and hot ethanol. Its stability under light and heat, coupled with its broad regulatory activity across plant species, underscores its significance in both agricultural and industrial applications. However, safety precautions are required due to its toxicological classification (acute oral toxicity, skin/eye irritation potential).
