CAS 626-48-2

6-Methyluracil

Description:

6-Methyluracil, with the CAS number 626-48-2, is a pyrimidine derivative and a methylated form of uracil. It is characterized by the presence of a methyl group at the 6-position of the uracil ring, which influences its biological activity and chemical properties. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohol. 6-Methyluracil is known for its role in nucleic acid metabolism and has been studied for its potential applications in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in relation to its effects on nucleic acid synthesis and cellular processes. It may exhibit properties such as being a weak acid and can participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of functional groups in its structure. Additionally, it is important in research contexts, particularly in studies related to nucleobase analogs and their interactions with enzymes involved in DNA and RNA synthesis.

6-Methyluracil is an antimetabolite that inhibits protein synthesis and is therefore used in the treatment of infectious diseases. 6-Methyluracil has two hydroxyl groups, which are located in adjacent positions on the ring. The optimum concentration for this drug is 3-10 μM, which can be achieved with a malonic acid buffer solution at pH 7.4. 6-Methyluracil reacts with sodium succinate to form an acid complex, which may have antiinflammatory activity. 6-Methyluracil has been shown to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and exhibits a reaction with radiation to produce photoproducts that can be detected by analytical chemistry.
