Ganciclovir
Ganciclovir (CAS 82410-32-0), a synthetic nucleoside analogue with the molecular formula C9H13N5O4 and a molecular weight of 255.23 g/mol, is primarily utilised in molecular biology. It serves as a valuable tool for selecting against unwanted recombination events, particularly when homologous recombination of a specific gene of interest is required. This compound is supplied by TSS as a premium grade reagent.
Molecular Biology Selection Agent
Ganciclovir acts as a selective agent in molecular biology experiments. It is employed to prevent or reduce random recombination events, ensuring that homologous recombination of a target gene is favoured and amplified.
Antiviral Research Reagent
As an antiviral compound, Ganciclovir is utilised in research settings to study viral replication mechanisms and to investigate potential therapeutic strategies against viral infections. Its role in inhibiting viral DNA synthesis makes it a subject of interest in virology research.
Cancer Research
Ganciclovir is also applied in cancer research due to its DNA synthesis inhibitory properties. It is studied for its potential in developing novel anti-cancer therapies and understanding cell proliferation pathways.
