5-Iodocytidine(CAS: 1147-23-5)

5-Iodocytidine is a nucleoside derivative with the chemical formula C10H11INOP2. It is an analog of cytidine, where the nitrogen atom at position 5 is substituted with an iodine atom. This compound is primarily used in research for studying iodine metabolism and as a potential radiopharmaceutical in imaging and therapy.

5-Iodocytidine is mainly used in research for studying iodine metabolism and as a radiopharmaceutical in imaging and therapy. It is also used in the development of targeted radiotherapeutics for cancer treatment.

5-Iodocytidine can be safe when used under proper conditions. However, it is important to follow all safety guidelines, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and handling in a well-ventilated area. It should be handled by trained personnel only, and exposure to the compound should be minimized.

5-Iodocytidine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. It should be kept in a tightly closed container to prevent contamination and degradation. The storage temperature should be maintained between 2°C and 8°C (35°F and 46°F) to ensure stability. It is also advisable to store it in a dedicated refrigerator compartment that is not used for food storage to prevent cross-contamination.
