Product Information

• Name: 5'-Deoxythymidine
• Synonyms: 5'-Deoxy-D-thymidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5'-Deoxythymidine is a nucleoside analog with low-energy electrons. This drug inhibits the synthesis of DNA by binding to the ribonucleotide reductase enzyme and preventing the conversion of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. 5'-Deoxythymidine has been shown to inhibit cell growth in tumor cell lines, which may be due to its ability to interfere with mirna-mediated gene expression. This drug also has a kinetic effect on regulatory proteins, such as cyclin-dependent kinases, that are involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression.
