2',5-difluoro-2'-deoxy-1-arabinosyluracil

Uses

5-Fluoro-1-((2R,3S,4R,5R)-3-fluoro-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (2',5-difluoro-2'-deoxy-1-arabinosyluracil) is a uridine analogue. Uridine has potential antiepileptic effects, and its analogs can be used to study anticonvulsant and anxiolytic activities, as well as to develop new antihypertensive agents[1].
