| Targets |
5-Methoxyuridine targets RNA metabolism and immune recognition pathways. As a modified nucleoside, the compound can be incorporated into RNA molecules to improve their translation efficiency and reduce immune recognition. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad antitumor activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In cell-free biochemical systems, 5-Methoxyuridine is used as a building block for RNA synthesis. The methoxy modification at the 5-position of the uracil base can affect RNA structure, stability, and interactions with proteins and immune receptors. These properties make the compound useful for the development of mRNA vaccines and other RNA-based therapeutics.
|
| ln Vivo |
In cell-based assays, 5-Methoxyuridine-containing RNA molecules exhibit improved translation efficiency and reduced immune recognition. The modified nucleoside reduces the activation of Toll-like receptors and other immune sensors, allowing for more efficient protein expression from exogenous RNA. These properties are valuable for mRNA vaccine development and RNA therapeutics.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The cell-free assay for studying 5-Methoxyuridine involves its incorporation into RNA molecules during in vitro transcription. The modified RNA is then used in cell-free translation systems to assess translation efficiency. The effect on immune recognition can be assessed by measuring the activation of purified immune receptors or by using cell-free immune sensing assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays for 5-Methoxyuridine involve transfecting modified RNA into mammalian cells and measuring protein expression and immune activation. Cells are transfected with 5-methoxyuridine-containing mRNA at concentrations of 0.1-10 μg/mL. Protein expression is measured by Western blotting, ELISA, or flow cytometry. Immune activation is assessed by measuring cytokine production or by analyzing the activation of immune signaling pathways.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In animal models, 5-methoxyuridine-containing mRNA has been evaluated for vaccine efficacy and therapeutic applications. Typical studies involve administration of modified mRNA to mice via intramuscular or intravenous routes. The immunogenicity and therapeutic efficacy are assessed by measuring antibody responses, protein expression, and disease outcomes.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of 5-methoxyuridine itself have not been extensively reported. The pharmacokinetics of 5-methoxyuridine-containing mRNA depend on the formulation and delivery system. Lipid nanoparticle formulations of modified mRNA exhibit distribution to the liver, spleen, and other tissues. The modified nucleoside enhances mRNA stability and reduces immune recognition.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data for 5-methoxyuridine are not well documented. The compound is used as a modified nucleoside in RNA therapeutics and has been shown to reduce immune activation compared to unmodified RNA. Standard toxicity studies would be required for therapeutic applications.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 ：Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
