Product Information

• Name: 5,6-Dihydro-5-methyluridine
• Synonyms: 5,6-Dihydrothymidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5,6-Dihydro-5-methyluridine is a nucleoside that is found in the human genome. It is a precursor of uridine and can be used to synthesize 5-methylcytosine, which is an epigenetic modification that occurs in DNA. This modification can affect the expression of genes by changing the structure of chromatin. This drug has been identified as a potential drug target for cancer treatment and other diseases. Structural analysis has shown that this compound has a number of hydrogen bonds with oxygen atoms and hydroxyl groups, which may make it more effective than other drugs currently being studied. 5,6-Dihydro-5-methyluridine forms a phylogenetic tree with other compounds that are also found in the human genome, suggesting that it may have evolved through natural selection.
