Tetrahydrouridine dihydrate is the dihydrated form of tetrahydrouridine, a potent competitive inhibitor of cytidine deaminase (CDA). Supplied as a white to off-white solid for research use, it is used to inhibit cytidine deamination, support studies of DNA/RNA synthesis pathways, and sensitize carcinoma cells to cytidine analog chemotherapeutics such as gemcitabine.
