释义

purinen.

Brit. /ˈp(j)ʊəriːn/, /ˈpjɔːriːn/, U.S. /ˈpjʊˌrin/, /ˈpjʊr(ə)n/
Forms: 1800s– purine, 1900s– purin.
Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Purin.
Etymology: < German Purin, apparently < classical Latin pūrus pure adj. + German -in -ine suffix5, although according to the coiner of the word, Emil Fischer, ‘aus den Wörtern purum und uricum kombiniert’ (‘combined from the words purum and uricum ’; i.e. the neuters of the Latin adjectives pūrus pure adj. and uricus (compare uric adj.); see Berichte der Deutsch. Chem. Ges. 31 (1898) 2550).The group C5N4H4 was so named by Fischer in 1884 as the source of derivatives then prepared and named by him, Methyl-purin and Trichlor-methylpurin (compare quot. 1885 at main sense); he did not isolate purine itself until 1898. See Berichte der Deutsch. Chem. Ges. 17 (1884) 329, and 31 (1898) 2550.
