5-Bromouridine

Description: 5-Bromouridine is a brominated analog of the nucleoside uridine .1It can be incorporated into RNA and subsequently detected by antibodies against bromodeoxyuridine .25-Bromouridine decreases the viability of HL-60 and MOLT-4 cells (LC50s = 10 and 20 µM, respectively). It induces apoptosis and halts the cell cycle at the S phase in HL-60 cells. It is photoreactive, and UV irradiation has been used to cross-link RNA containing 5-bromouridine to proteins in the study of of RNA-protein interactions.1,35-Bromouridine can also be incorporated into RNA using 5-bromouridine 5'-triphosphate . Target: Others. Smiles: OC[C@H]1O[C@H]([C@H](O)[C@@H]1O)n1cc(Br)c(=O)[nH]c1=O.
