3',5'-O-(1,1,3,3-Tetraisopropyl-1,3-disiloxanediyl)uridine

Uses

N2-Phenoxyacetyl-3′,5′-O-(tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl)guanosine is a guanosine analog. Some guanosine analogs have immunostimulatory activity. In some animal models, they also induce type I interferons, producing antiviral effects. Studies have shown that the functional activity of guanosine analogs is dependent on the activation of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)[1].
