General description

Uracil belongs to the pyrimidine nucleobase family. It is naturally occurring and is an important and active part of RNA.

Application

Uracil has been used as:
  • a nucleotide standard to determine DNA methylation by high-performance liquid chromatography
  • a component of synthetic define medium for culturing Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its strain
  • a component of the amino acid supplement to culture Bacillus sp

Biochem/physiol Actions

Uracil and its derivatives play an integral part in medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of cancer, viral infections, autosomal recessive disorder, thyroid, and diabetic drugs.
