Metabolite Identification
Common NameDeoxyuridine
DescriptionDeoxyuridine, also known as dU, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides. Pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides are compounds consisting of a pyrimidine linked to a ribose which lacks a hydroxyl group at position 2. Deoxyuridine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Deoxyuridine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Deoxyuridine is a potentially toxic compound.
