Trifluorothymidine is an inhibitor of TS (thymidylate synthase). It is also a substrate used to study the specificity and kinetics of thymidine kinases. Acts as an anti-herpesvirus drug by blocking viral DNA replication. Decreases CRISPR-mediated HDR (homology-directed repair) efficiency. Synonyms: Trifluridine, Trifluorothymine Deoxyriboside, alpha,alpha,alpha-Trifluorothymidine, 2-Deoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)uridine, 5-(Trifluoromethyl)-2-deoxyuridine, Viroptic CAS No: 70-00-8 Molecular Formula: C10H11F3N2O5 Molecular Weight: 296.20 Appearance: White crystalline powder Purity: 99.5% (HPLC) Infrared Spectrum: Conforms to structure Loss on Drying: 1% 5-(Trifluoromethyl)uracil: 1% UV Max: 260nm Optical Rotation: [a]D20 = + 49 2 (C=0.3% in H2O) Melting Point: 186-189C Solubility: Methanol (Slightly), DMSO (>25 mg/ml), H2O (>10mg/ml) Storage and Stability: May be stored at RT for short-term only.
