Also known as 1-beta-D-ribofuranosylhydrouracil, 3,4-Dihydrouridine, d, Dihydro-1-beta-delta-ribofuranosyl-2,4(1H,3H)-Pyrimidinedione, Dihydro-1-b-D-ribofuranosyl-2,4(1H,3H)-Pyrimidinedione, 1-[(2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]-1,3-diazinane-2,4-dione

Dihydrouridine (abbreviated as D, hU, DHU, or UH2) is a pyrimidine nucleoside which is the result of adding two hydrogen atoms to a uridine, making it a fully saturated pyrimidine ring with no remaining double bonds. D is found in tRNA and rRNA molecules as a nucleoside; the corresponding nucleobase is 5,6-dihydrouracil.
