• Synonyms: 3'-Deoxy-D-uridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3'-Deoxyuridine is a synthetic antibiotic that is used in the treatment of viral infections, such as hepatitis B and C, and HIV. 3'-Deoxyuridine competitively inhibits the synthesis of RNA by binding to the enzyme RNA polymerase. This drug also has antiviral activity against the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV). 3'-Deoxyuridine is synthesized from uracil in an organic solvent, trifluoroacetic acid, at low temperatures. The incorporation of deoxynucleoside triphosphates into DNA occurs after cleavage of the terminal phosphate group by water vapor.
