Description
6-Azauridine is a nucleoside analog where a nitrogen atom replaces the carbon at the sixth position of the uridine base, altering its chemical properties and inhibiting RNA and DNA synthesis. It is studied for its antiviral and anticancer potential due to its ability to interfere with nucleic acid metabolism. Additionally, 6-azauridine is used in biochemical research to explore the effects of nucleoside analogs on cellular processes and enzyme activities related to nucleic acid synthesis
