Abstract

A substance promoting the growth of mammalian cells in vitro has been isolated from Bacto‐peptone (Difco Labs., Detroit) and identified as 6,8‐dihydroxypurine. This compound, which is isomeric with xanthine(2,6‐dihydroxypurine), enhances the growth of one Chinese hamster and some other cell lines; xanthine itself is inactive. The biological action of the compound is discussed.
