white to light yellow fine crystalline powder | [Uses]
6-Azauracil (6-AU) is used as a growth inhibitor of various microorganisms via depletion of intracellular GTP and UTP nucleotide pools. 6-Azauracil has been widely used in investigations on modulation of transcription, especially in yeast models. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A 1,2,4-triazine compound having oxo-substituents at the 3- and 5-positions. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 23, p. 1522, 1958 DOI: 10.1021/jo01104a033 | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
6-Azauracil (6-AU) is a pyrimidine analog of uracil and exhibits antitumor activity. It inhibits the growth of various microorganisms by depleting intracellular guanosine triphosphate (GTP)?and uridine?triphosphate (UTP) nucleotide pools. | [Mode of action]
6-Azauracil is a growth inhibitor effective on a variety of microorganisms. It functions by depleting the intracellular GTP and UTP nucleotide supply. Mutations in transcriptional elongation machinery, as well as mutations in a variety of other pathways, exaggerate the growth defect of cells in the presence of 6 AU. |
