• Name: 2’C-Methyl-2-thiouridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2’C-Methyl-2-thiouridine is a novel nucleoside phosphoramidite that has been synthesized to serve as an activator for DNA polymerases. 2’C-Methyl-2-thiouridine is a potent antiviral agent that inhibits the replication of the hepatitis C virus in vitro. It also has antiproliferative effects against certain cancer cells and can be used as an anticancer drug. 2’C-Methyl-2-thiouridine contains a methylated thiol group, which confers a high degree of resistance to degradation by thiols, including glutathione (GSH). This compound is stable to hydrolysis and may be used in the synthesis of deoxyribonucleosides or monophosphate nucleotides.
