Description:5-Methoxyuracil is a labile, colorless and crystalline compound that occurs spontaneously in the presence of oxygen. It has a chemical structure similar to thiourea, with one methyl group substituted for the amino group on the heterocycle. 5-Methoxyuracil is used as a precursor for synthesis of thymine and uracil. It also acts as an antioxidant, preventing reactive oxygen species from causing cellular damage. 5-Methoxyuracil can be used in regenerative medicine to increase the production of messenger RNA (mRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This drug is used as a prebiotic agent and can be synthetically produced by dimethylation of uridine followed by ethyl formate oxidation.
