Product Information
| Description: | 5-Phenyluracil is a pyrimidine derivative, a class of heterocyclic aromatic organic compounds crucial in biochemistry. It serves as a synthetic nucleoside analogue, meaning it mimics the structure of naturally occurring nucleosides like uridine. This structural similarity allows it to participate in biochemical reactions, often interfering with normal cellular processes, making it a valuable tool in studying nucleic acid metabolism and developing antiviral and anticancer agents. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
