Benzylacyclouridine
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Benzylacyclouridine (BAU) is a potent and specific inhibitor of uridine phosphorylase, the first enzyme in the catabolism of uridine. Benzylacyclouridine inhibits the metabolic activity of UPP1 and the activity of UPP2. Benzylacyclouridine can modulate the cytotoxic side effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and its derivatives.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.05 mM); Clear solution
