Description

Thymidine is a nucleoside that is found in cells and is involved in the synthesis of DNA. Thymidine has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells through apoptosis. In addition, thymidine can be used for the treatment of bowel disease by reducing inflammation and increasing the production of mucin. The mechanism by which thymidine exerts its effects on tumor cells is not well understood, but it may involve interactions with dna binding activity and enzyme activities.
