Adenin ad / -en-in) \adtp>, a gland — lir-t discovered in 

 pancreatic glands], C 5 H 5 N 5 . A leucomaine di-cov- 

 ered in 1885 by KTossel ; the simplest member of the 

 uric acid group of leucomaino. A relation exists 

 between hydrocyanic acid and all the members of this 

 group, and the base, adenin, seems to be formed by 

 polymerization of hydrocyanic acid. It occur-, with 

 other bases, as a decompi isition product of nuclein, and 

 may be obtained from all animal and vegetable tissues 

 rich in nucleated cells. It crystallizes in leaflets with 

 pearly lu-ter. It exists largely in the liver and urine 

 of leucocythemic patients, as a result of the breaking 

 U[i of the nucleated white blood coqmscles. It appears 

 tn be necessary to the formation and building up of 

 mic matter, playing an important part, together 

 with guanin, in the physiological function of the cell 

 nucleus. Nuclein, the parent of adenin and guanin, 

 has been credited with a direct relation to the repro- 

 ductive power- of the cell. Adenin is not poisonous. 

 Its physiological action is not definitely known.
