Product Information
2,4-Dimethoxy-5,6-dimethylpyrimidine is an organic compound and a pyrimidine derivative. It is a synthetic compound that has been found to be active against HIV and other viruses. The structure of 2,4-Dimethoxy-5,6-dimethylpyrimidine has been determined by using positron emission studies. This compound has been shown to inhibit the growth of viruses such as HIV and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1). The synthesis of this compound involves the reaction of methoxymethyl chloride with 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde followed by hydrolysis with water. The methoxymethyl group in this molecule is important for its antiviral activity as it inhibits viral replication by preventing the viral DNA from uncoiling correctly. It also inhibits the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I
