Usage

General Description

6-Azacytosine is a synthetic nucleoside analog that has shown potential antiviral and antitumor properties. It has been studied for its ability to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis, making it a potentially useful molecule for controlling the growth and replication of cancer cells and viruses. Its structure is similar to that of cytosine, but with a nitrogen atom substituted for the oxygen atom in the pyrimidine ring. This alteration can disrupt the normal functioning of DNA and RNA, leading to its therapeutic potential in a variety of diseases. Further research is warranted to explore its potential applications in the treatment of cancer and viral infections.
