Description

6-Azauracil is a heterocyclic organic compound and a structural analog of uracil, where a nitrogen atom replaces the carbon at the 6-position. This modification imparts unique biochemical properties, making it a valuable research tool and intermediate. It is primarily utilized in pharmaceutical research, agrochemical development, and as a building block in organic synthesis for scientists and R&D departments globally.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and potential antiviral or anticancer agents.
• Biochemical Studies: Used as an inhibitor of orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase to study pyrimidine biosynthesis pathways.
• Agrochemical Development: Acts as a precursor in the research and synthesis of novel herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Organic Synthesis: A versatile building block for constructing complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles in medicinal chemistry.
• Academic Research: Employed in universities and research institutions for studying enzyme mechanisms and metabolic processes.

Quality Control

Our 6-Azauracil is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
