5,6-Dihydrouridine Usage And Synthesis

Uses

5,6-Dihydrouridine is an intermediate used in the synthesis of 3,4,5,6-Tetrahydrouridine (>80%) (T310250), which is a derivative of Uridine (U829910). Tetrahydrouridine (THU) is a potent inhibitor of cytidine. It inhibits cell proliferation through cell cycle regulation regardless of cytidine deaminase expression levels deaminase (CDA), and thus can be used as a potential and promising treatment for tumors with highly expressed CDA.
