2-Thiouridine is an orally active modified nucleobase. 2-Thiouridine stabilizes U:A base pairs and destabilizes U:G wobble base pairs. 2-Thiouridine significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of nonenzymatic replication of mixed-sequence A/U-containing RNA templates. 2-Thiouridine exhibits antiviral activity against multiple positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses (DENV2, ZIKV, YFV, JEV, WNV, CHIKV, human coronaviruses ( [HCoV]-229E, HCoV-OC43, SARS-CoV), and MERS-CoV).

Description

2-Thiouridine is an orally active modified nucleobase. 2-Thiouridine stabilizes U:A base pairs and destabilizes U:G wobble base pairs. 2-Thiouridine significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of nonenzymatic replication of mixed-sequence A/U-containing RNA templates. 2-Thiouridine exhibits antiviral activity against multiple positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses (DENV2, ZIKV, YFV, JEV, WNV, CHIKV, human coronaviruses ( [HCoV]-229E, HCoV-OC43, SARS-CoV), and MERS-CoV)[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

2-Thiouridine (0.625-40 μM) inhibits the replication of ssRNA+ viruses (DENV2, ZIKV, YFV, JEV, WNV, CHIKV, human coronaviruses ([HCoV]-229E, HCoV-OC43, SARS-CoV), and MERS-CoV) in a dose-dependent manner[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

2-Thiouridine (50-150 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily) prolongs the survival rate and reduces the viral RNA load in serum, spleen and other tissues in DENV2-infected mice[4].
2-Thiouridine (2-300 mg/kg; i.v. (2-20 mg/kg; once a day) or p.o. (300 mg/kg; twice a day); 5 days) improves the survival rate and reduces the lung viral titer and inflammatory factor levels in the SARS-CoV-2 infection mouse model[4].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
