5-Methyl-2'-O-methyluridine(CAS: 55486-09-4)

5-Methyl-2'-O-methyluridine is a modified nucleoside, characterized by the substitution of a methyl group at the 5' position and an additional methyl group at the 2' position of the uracil ring. It is commonly used in research and pharmaceuticals as a component in nucleic acid analogs and therapeutics.

5-Methyl-2'-O-methyluridine is primarily used in the development of antiviral drugs and as a research tool for studying RNA and DNA structure and function. It is also utilized in nucleic acid analog synthesis for pharmaceutical applications.

5-Methyl-2'-O-methyluridine is generally safe when used under laboratory conditions and with appropriate safety measures. However, it is important to follow safety guidelines, wear protective clothing, and ensure proper disposal to avoid potential hazards.

5-Methyl-2'-O-methyluridine should be stored in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation. It should be kept at a temperature below 25°C, with a low humidity environment, and protected from light. Storage in a tightly sealed container is recommended to maintain its stability and purity.
