2'-Deoxyuridine

2’-deoxyuridine is a brain-penetrant pyrimidines nucleotide that is associated with nervous system diseases. 2'-Deoxyuridine could increase chromosome breakage and results in a decreased thymidylate synthetase activity. 2'-Deoxyuridine is a precursor in the synthesis of Edoxudine (HY-B1011) and also an analogue of 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, EdU (HY-118411). 2’-deoxyuridine reduces microglial activation and improve oxidative stress damage by modulating glycolytic metabolism on the Aβ25-35-induced brain injury, which is promising for research of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)^[1][2][3]. In Vitro:The interaction between the 2-deoxyuridine and the column increases the duration of retention of 2-deoxyuridine^[2].
Gradient elution with sodium acetate buffer-ACN eluent on two ZIC-HILIC homemade columns separates 2-deoxyuridine in under 9 min^[2].
In Vivo:2'-Deoxyuridine (34.42 ng/mL, gavage, 15 min) passes the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to enter the hippocampus of mice brain^[3].
2'-Deoxyuridine (20 mg/kg, gavage, daily for 4 weeks) improves cognition and memory loss and attenuates the damage to the hippocampus in Aβ25-35-induced mice model^[3].
