Product Information

• Name: 6-Amino-1-methyluracil
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Amino-1-methyluracil is a synthetic drug that is used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. It is also used to treat cancer, such as leukemia and in the treatment of bacterial infections. 6-Amino-1-methyluracil inhibits the synthesis of DNA by inhibiting the enzyme thymidylate synthetase. This inhibition prevents DNA replication and transcription, which leads to cell death. 6-Amino-1-methyluracil binds to cellular proteins through its amino group and hydroxyl group, which are not involved in its chemical reactions. 6-Amino-1-methyluracil has shown great promise as a template molecule for the synthesis of new drugs.
