    TLDR Compound 1 showed promising anticancer activity.
    The study synthesized five novel 6-mercaptopurine derivatives, including disulfide, Schiff base, Oxadiazole, and amide products, to evaluate their anticancer activity against three cancer cell lines. All five compounds showed activity, but compound 1 was examined in detail. The synthesis process and product purity were monitored using thin layer chromatography, and the chemical structures were confirmed through melting points, infrared spectroscopy, elemental microanalysis, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance.
