Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate
Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (UDP-β-S) is a P2Y6 receptor agonist with an EC50 of 25 nM. Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate resists degradation by extracellular nucleotidases and stimulates the accumulation of inositol phosphates. Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate stimulates contractile responses in endothelium-denuded rat mesenteric arteries. As a mitogen, Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate stimulates DNA synthesis, [3H] thymidine incorporation, protein synthesis, [3H]leucine incorporation, and increases the number of vascular smooth muscle cells. Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate can be used in the research of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Biological Activity
|
P2Y6 Receptor 25 nM (EC50) |
Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate is a potent and selective agonist of the human P2Y6 receptor expressed in 1321N1 cells, with an EC50 of 28 nM, and shows no activity against human P2Y1, P2Y2 or P2Y4 receptors[2].
Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (1-30 μM; 19 h) stimulates DNA synthesis in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells, with an Emax that is 73% higher than that of the control group and a pEC50 of 5.42[2].
Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (30 μM; 96 h) increases protein synthesis in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells by 25% compared with the control group[2].
Uridine 5'-O-thiodiphosphate (30 μM; 0-120 min) is resistant to degradation by nucleotideases in 1321N1 astrocytoma cells over a 120-minute incubation period[2].

Result:Induced a concentration-dependent increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation, with an Emax of 73% above control and a pEC50 of 5.42.
Stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation by 36% above control at 1 μM, and showed an additive effect when combined with 1 μM UTPγS.
Stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation to levels comparable to UDP at 30 μM.
