Biological Activity

[Description]:

5-Hydroxymethyl-2’-O-(2-methoxyethyl)uridine is a purine nucleoside analogue. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad antitumor activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. Anticancer mechanisms in this process rely on inhibition of DNA synthesis, induction of apoptosis, etc[1].
