​Did you by any chance try to use parmchk2 to "fill-in" the missing
parameters? If not, there's a good chance that parmchk2 will be able to
find some suitable parameters for you.

​Also, purine is a rather common biological fragment, so ​I doubt it lies
outside of the chemical space targeted by antechamber.

All the best,
