6-Azathymine（Cat No.:M216088）is a pyrimidine analog of thymidine, featuring a nitrogen atom at the 6-position of the thymine ring. This structural modification enhances its potential as an antimetabolite, making it useful in the study of nucleic acid synthesis and cellular processes. It is known to inhibit DNA synthesis, potentially disrupting the proliferation of rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Research has explored its applications in cancer therapy and as a tool in molecular biology for studying DNA replication and repair mechanisms. However, further studies are needed to fully elucidate its therapeutic potential and safety profile.
