Produktinformation

• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 2,4-Dithiothymidine (DT) is a chemotherapeutic that has been shown to be clinically effective in the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies. It is an oligothymidylate analogue that contains a pyrimidine heterocycle and an ethylthio group. DT is not a nucleoside analog, but it inhibits DNA synthesis by binding to the enzyme thymidylate synthase and preventing the formation of thymine from uracil. DT also binds to single-stranded DNA with high affinity and alters its conformation, which may inhibit transcription and replication. The photophysical properties of this molecule are studied theoretically using quantum mechanics and population analysis theory. The reagent DT can be used to focus attention on other molecules or conformation states of proteins that might have improved biological activity.
