6-Isopropylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione is a uracil derivative used as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly for antiviral and antimicrobial agents. Its structure, resembling nucleobases, allows it to be incorporated into nucleoside analogs that disrupt pathogen replication by interfering with nucleic acid synthesis. It is also employed in research for enzyme inhibitors and bioactive heterocyclic compounds. Ongoing studies focus on derivatization to enhance solubility, bioavailability, and efficacy in drug discovery.
