F-ara-EdU (2’-deoxy-2’-fluoro-5-ethynyluridine) is a synthetic analog of thymidine used to study de novo DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. It is a less cytotoxic alternative for BrdU (5-Bromo-2’-deoxyuridine) and EdU (5-Ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine).

F-ara-EdU incorporates into replicating DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle instead of natural thymidine. Metabolic incorporation of F-ara-EdU into DNA can be detected by copper-catalyzed click reaction with fluorescent or biotin-labeled azides.

In contrast to EdU, F-ara-EdU causes little or no cellular arrest or DNA synthesis inhibition. Therefore, F-ara-EdU is ideally suited for pulse-chase experiments aimed at birth-dating DNA in vivo and long-term cell survival estimation.
