Uracil is one of the drug ingredients for cancer treatment, which is commonly used to treat colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and breast cancer. It can inhibit the growth and division of cancer cells by interfering with the process of DNA synthesis.
Uracil is used as a whitening agent in certain skincare and cosmetics. It has the effect of inhibiting tyrosinase and reducing the production of melanin, thereby making the skin brighter and more uniform.
Uracil is used as a starting material for synthesizing other compounds in the chemical industry. It can be used to prepare dyes, pesticides, plastics, rubber, and certain solvents.
Uracil is often used in biochemical and molecular biology experiments in the laboratory. It can be used as a reagent or substrate for detecting and measuring the activity of certain enzymes, or for the synthesis and modification of DNA and RNA.
