Produktinformation

• Name: 5-Fluorouridine 5'-Diphosphate Galactose
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 5-Fluorouridine 5'-Diphosphate Galactose is a nucleotide that is used as an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase. It is a chemotherapeutic agent that inhibits the production of DNA and RNA, which leads to the death of tumor cells. 5-Fluorouridine 5'-Diphosphate Galactose binds to a specific site on the enzyme thymidylate synthase, preventing it from catalyzing the conversion of thymine to thymine monophosphate. This prevents DNA synthesis and also causes the death of tumor cells due to lack of DNA and RNA synthesis.5-Fluorouridine 5'-Diphosphate Galactose is synthesized from uracil and galactose. It is converted into 5-fluorouridine 5'-diphosphate by pyrophosphatase, which then reacts with ATP or GTP to form 5-fluorouridine
