N1-methyl-pseudouridine
N1-methyl-pseudouridine is a derivative of the nucleoside uridine in which the uracil is attached via a carbon-carbon instead of a nitrogen-carbon glycosidic bond, and a methyl group attached to the nitrogen at the 1 position of uridine.
In the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine from BioNTech/Pfizer, also known as BNT162b2, Tozinameran or Comirnaty, all U’s have been substituted with N1-methyl-pseudouridine.[1]
