Biological Activity

[Description]:

5-Methyl-2-thiouridine (2-Thio-5-methyluridine) is a purine nucleoside analogue. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad antitumor activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. Anticancer mechanisms in this process rely on inhibition of DNA synthesis, induction of apoptosis, etc[1].
