N-Formyl-L-Leucine

5-Ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine is an extensively used nucleoside analog used as a probe for DNA synthesis. 5-Ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine is known as an toxic anti-metabolite which potentially causes DNA instabiliy necrosis and cell-cycle arrest therefore it is often used for short-term DNA synthesis in tissue culture and living organisms where prolonged cell survival is not required.

For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

5-Ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) is a thymidine analog that can be incorporated into replicating DNA for detection of cell proliferation.It has an alkyne handle that can ligate with azide-containing fluorescent probes through a highly efficient click chemistry reaction.
