Product Information

• Name: 2-Amino-4-chloro-5-nitro-6-hydroxypyrimidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Amino-4-chloro-5-nitro-6-hydroxypyrimidine is an alkylating agent that is synthesized by the reaction of phenacylamine with a diazonium salt in the presence of an alkali metal. It can be used for the synthesis of sulfoxides and sulfones. 2-Amino-4-chloro-5-nitro-6-hydroxypyrimidine has been used to treat immunodeficiency, but its antiviral activity has not been investigated. It is a chiral molecule and can be synthesized from lysine, guanine, and norvaline through a two step process that involves the formation of a sulfoxide intermediate followed by nitration. This drug also inhibits dihydropteridine reductase, which produces tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an essential cofactor for the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin
