5′-Deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5prime-dFdC) is a metabolite of the DNA synthesis inhibitor capecitabine (sc-205618). 5′-Deoxy-5-fluorocytidine is an inhibitor of the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), which is responsible for the conversion of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. Gene expression studies have employed this compound to investigate how gene expression is regulated during transcription. Furthermore, 5′-Deoxy-5-fluorocytidine has found utility in nucleic acid synthesis for creating modified nucleic acids, including oligonucleotides and siRNAs. Additionally, it has been instrumental in biochemistry research, enabling the examination of proteins and other biomolecules′ structure and function. 5′-Deoxy-5-fluorocytidine may act to have anti-inflammatory effects, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, induce apoptosis in cancer cells, and modulate the expression of genes involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis.
