Description

white to light yellow fluffy powder


5-iodouracil is an organoiodine compound consisting of uracil having an iodo substituent at the 5-position. It has a role as an antimetabolite. It derives from a uracil.|5-Iodouracil is a halogenated pyrimidine analog containing an iodine atom linked to a pyrimidine ring. 5-Iodouracil (IU) gets incorporated into DNA. IU is a metabolite of idoxuridine (IUdR; 5-iododeoxyuridine) and the IUdR prodrug ropidoxuridine (IPdR).

5-Iodouracil Use and Manufacturing

Uses

5-Iodouracil is a halogenated pyrimidine that can be used in nucleoprotein photo-crosslinking via RNA substitution. 5-Iodouracil is used in thymidine phosphorylase targeted imaging and therapy. Studies show that DNA N-glycosylase MED1 exhibited higher preference for 5-Iodouracil and halogenated bases over non-halogenated ones.
