| Description | 1-beta-D-Arabinofuranosyluracil (Uracil 1-β-D-arabinofuranoside) isolated from the Caribbean sponge Tectitethya crypta, is a methoxyadenosine derivative. 1-beta-D-Arabinofuranosyluracil has anti-inflammatory activity, analgesic and vasodilation properties. |
| In vivo | 1-β-d-Arabinofuranosyluracil (ara-U) reduces a proliferation of L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells at 17 μm, concentration which, in a dose-response experiment, induced 50% inhibition of cell proliferation[1]. |
