5-Methoxyuridine is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines and is also used as a precursor for other compounds. 5-Methoxyuridine is an analog of Uridine and is used as a reagent in the synthesis of 5-OMe-UDP, a potent and selective P2Y6-receptor agonist. 5-Methoxyuridine inhibits messenger RNA (mRNA) production in bacteria by interfering with sequence recognition and binding sites within the ribosome and preventing.
5-Methoxyuridine is an analog of Uridine (U829910) and is used as a reagent in the synthesis of 5-OMe-UDP, a potent and selective P2Y6-receptor agonist.
ChEBI: A derivative of uridine, bearing an additional methoxy substituent at position 5 on the uracil ring.
