Product Information

• Name: 2'-Deoxy-5-ethynylcytidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2'-Deoxy-5-ethynylcytidine is a cytosine analog that inhibits the synthesis of viral DNA and the production of new virus particles. It has been shown to inhibit herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) in cell cultures, as well as other viruses such as vaccinia and adenovirus. 2'-Deoxy-5-ethynylcytidine has also been shown to have anti-cancer properties in animal studies. This drug binds to the cellular nucleic acid, preventing transcription of viral genes into messenger RNA and preventing protein synthesis, thereby inhibiting replication of the virus. 2'-Deoxy-5-ethynylcytidine also inhibits the synthesis of cellular DNA by binding to nuclear DNA.2'-Deoxy-5-ethynylcytidine is an analog of cytosine that binds to dna polymerase and prevents it from adding on new nucleotides, which blocks viral reproduction.
