nNOS |
2-Thiouracil (500 μM) significantly reduced the number of nNOS dimers formed in the presence of BH4 (1 μM)[1].
In the synthetic melanin experiment, 2-Thiouracil (molar ratio to substrate not greater than 0.5) reduced the A350 value of the synthetic melanin, and the yield of PTCA and PDCA varied with the pigment precursor, and the melanin yield also varied[2].
In the DHI oxidative polymerization experiment, 2-Thiouracil (2 mol equivalent) inhibited the conventional oligomerization mode of indole and generated new major products, including 1:1 DHI-TU adduct and its dimers and trimers[2].
2-Thiouracil (1-5 mM) stimulates root growth in pea and corn roots, and this stimulatory effect varies among treatments and root regions[3].

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: ≥ 3.75 mg/mL (29.26 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 3.75 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (37.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
