This paper describes the chemical synthesis of these novel uridine derivatives, 5-taurinomethyluridine (τm5U) and 5-taurinomethyl-2-thiouridine (τm5s2U). These taurine-containing uridine derivatives were synthesized in the good yields by the reaction of the corresponding S-hydroxymethyluridine derivatives with taurine under basic conditions.}, pages = {11--12}, title = {Chemical synthesis of novel taurine-containing uridine derivatives}, volume = {2}, year = {1905} }
