Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

In vitro
Uracil can be used for drug delivery and as a pharmaceutical. It can be reacted with elemental fluorine to produce 5-fluorouracil, which can inhibit RNA replication enzymes, eliminate RNA synthesis and stop the growth of cancerous cells. This compound can also be used in the synthesis of caffeine. Its use in the body is to help carry out the synthesis of many enzymes necessary for cell function through bonding with riboses and phosphates. It serves as allosteric regulator and coenzyme for reactions in the human body and in plants. UMP controls the activity of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase and aspartate transcarbamoylase in plants, while UDP and UTP requlate CPSase II activity in animals. UDP-glucose regulates the conversion of glucose to galactose in the liver and other tissues in the process of carbohydrate metabolism. This chemical is also involved in the biosynthesis of polysaccharides and the transportation of sugars containing aldehydes.
