CAS 107036-56-6: 2',3'-dideoxy-5-methylcytidine

Description: 2',3'-Dideoxy-5-methylcytidine, commonly referred to as 5-methyl-2',3'-dideoxycytidine, is a nucleoside analog that plays a significant role in molecular biology and pharmacology. It is characterized by the absence of hydroxyl groups at the 2' and 3' positions of the ribose sugar, which distinguishes it from standard ribonucleosides. The presence of a methyl group at the 5-position of the cytosine base contributes to its structural uniqueness and can influence its biological activity. This compound is primarily studied for its potential antiviral properties, particularly against retroviruses, as it can interfere with viral replication. Its mechanism of action involves incorporation into viral RNA, leading to chain termination during nucleic acid synthesis. Additionally, 2',3'-dideoxy-5-methylcytidine has been investigated for its potential use in cancer therapy and as a tool in genetic research. As with many nucleoside analogs, its pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and efficacy are important considerations in therapeutic applications.
