Thymidine monophosphate
What is Thymidine monophosphate?
Thymidine monophosphate (CAS 365-07-1), also known as dTMP or 5'-thymidylic acid, is a nucleotide monophosphate used as a biochemical building block in pharmaceutical synthesis and life science research.
Where is Thymidine monophosphate used?
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: intermediate
- Synthesis of antiviral and anticancer nucleotide analogues, where structural purity affects downstream API quality
- Cell culture media formulations that supplement nucleotide pools and support proliferation of nucleotide-auxotrophic cell lines
- Enzymatic assay systems and polymerase chain reaction reagents, where defined nucleotide concentrations are critical to assay reproducibility
- Research-scale synthesis of oligonucleotides and labeled DNA probes for molecular diagnostics development
Commercial specifications
- Purity specifications commonly at ≥98% or ≥99% by HPLC
- Packaging ranges from milligram quantities to kilogram lots
