description Product Description
Used in pharmaceuticals as a precursor in the synthesis of various drugs, particularly in cancer treatments like 5-fluorouracil, which interferes with DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells. Also utilized in molecular biology research for RNA-related studies, including gene expression and RNA stability. Serves as a biomarker in some diagnostic applications due to its presence in RNA but not in DNA. Additionally, plays a role in the development of antiviral and antimicrobial agents.
