Ref. 3D-NA139066

Product Information

• Name: 3'-Azido-3'-deoxy-L-uridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3'-Azido-3'-deoxy-L-uridine is a nucleoside that is a modified form of uridine with an azide group. It has antiviral, anticancer, and novel properties. 3'-Azido-3'-deoxy-L-uridine is synthesized from the corresponding ribonucleosides and diphosphates in high purity and quality. This compound can be used as an antiviral agent in the treatment of AIDS and herpes. It also has anticancer activity, which may be due to its ability to inhibit DNA synthesis or to bind to DNA and induce oxidative stress. 3'-Azido-3'-deoxy-L-uridine is synthesized by the enzymatic conversion of uridines with a monophosphate group at the 3' position into nucleosides with an azide group at the 3' position.
