Use in chemotherapy
The compound closely resembles guanine and appears to be competitive with it in the metabolism of living organisms.[6] It has been shown to cause retardation of some malignant neoplasms when administered to tumors in animals.[6] 8-Azaguanine was the first purine analogue discovered to inhibit experimental tumors in mice.[7]

gollark: > It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself.according to the Wikipedia article.
gollark: And that being a problem is caused by DMCA section 1201.
gollark: They don't seem to be going after it because of piracy (except possibly due to the poor examples in the README) but because it could maybe be used to violate copyright, and that being illegal is a DMCA issue.
gollark: It isn't. Without it, there would basically not be a case against youtube-dl at all.
gollark: Again, it's the DMCA which makes the maybe-usable-to-violate-copyright things problematic in the first place.
