Usage

Description

6-AZACYTOSINE is a synthetic nucleoside analog with potential antiviral and antitumor properties. It is structurally similar to cytosine, but with a nitrogen atom replacing the oxygen atom in the pyrimidine ring. This modification allows it to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis, making it a promising molecule for controlling the growth and replication of cancer cells and viruses.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
6-AZACYTOSINE is used as an antiviral and antitumor agent for its ability to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis. This property makes it a potential candidate for the treatment of various cancers and viral infections.
Used in Cancer Treatment:
6-AZACYTOSINE is used as a therapeutic agent for controlling the growth and replication of cancer cells. Its ability to disrupt DNA and RNA synthesis can help in the treatment of various types of cancer.
Used in Viral Infections Treatment:
6-AZACYTOSINE is used as a therapeutic agent for controlling the replication of viruses. Its ability to inhibit RNA synthesis can help in the treatment of various viral infections.
Further research is warranted to explore the potential applications of 6-AZACYTOSINE in the treatment of cancer and viral infections, as well as its efficacy and safety in clinical settings.
