Biological Activity
4′-Thiouridine (1-(4-thio-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)uracil) 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].
