Usage

General Description

Cytosine hydrochloride is a synthetic derivative of the nucleic acid base cytosine that is commonly used in molecular biology research. It is categorized as a pyrimidine analog and is often used as a precursor for the synthesis of cytosine nucleotides, which are essential building blocks for DNA and RNA. Cytosine hydrochloride is also used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and as a component in some diagnostic reagents. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties and has been investigated as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of certain types of leukemia and other malignancies. However, its use in medical applications is limited and it is primarily used as a research tool in the laboratory.
