Uses
2'',3''-Dideoxy-3''-fluorouridine is a reactant used in the synthesis of 5''-trityl nucleosides as inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum dUTPase.
Uses
2′,3′-Dideoxy-3′-fluorouridine can be used as a starting material in the synthesis of:
- 3′-fluoro 2′,3′-dideoxynucleoside analogs for in vitro antiviral activity studies.
- 3′-fluoro deoxyuridine monophosphate analogs as potential anti parasites.
General Description
2′,3′-Dideoxy-3′-fluorouridine (3′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine, FddUrd) is a fluorinated pyrimidine nucleoside analog of uridine. It has been studied extensively for its potential use as an antiviral agent against HIV.
