Bioactivity

• Target IC50:
  Cytidine deaminase (E. coli):3.4 μM(Ki)
• In Vitro:
  5,6-Dihydrouridine (Dihydrouridine) is a posttranscriptionally modified nucleoside, resulting from the reduction of uridine (U) and can be further altered to 5-methyldihydrouridine (m5D). It is identified in six positions within the 'D-loop' of tRNA (16, 17, 20a, 20b) and in position 47 of the variable loop.
