Description

Uracil is a common and naturally occurring pyrimidine derivative and one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of RNA.


Solid


Uracil is a common and naturally occurring pyrimidine nucleobase in which the pyrimidine ring is substituted with two oxo groups at positions 2 and 4. Found in RNA, it base pairs with adenine and replaces thymine during DNA transcription. It has a role as a prodrug, a human metabolite, a Daphnia magna metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a mouse metabolite and an allergen. It is a pyrimidine nucleobase and a pyrimidone. It is a tautomer of a (4S)-4-hydroxy-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one.|One of four nucleotide bases in the nucleic acid RNA.

Drug Function and Efficacy

It can block the degradation of tegafur and specifically increase the concentration of fluorouracil and its active metabolites in tumor tissues. When it is mixed with tegafur at a ratio of 1:4, it can significantly increase the concentration of fluorouracil in tumor tissues (maximum T/B ratio).

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
