Description:2'-(O-Methyl)-5-methylcytidine is a modified nucleoside that features a methyl group at the 5-position of the cytidine base and a methoxy group at the 2' position of the ribose sugar. This compound is characterized by its structural modifications that enhance its stability and influence its biological activity, particularly in the context of RNA. The presence of the O-methyl group can improve resistance to enzymatic degradation, making it of interest in therapeutic applications, such as in the development of antiviral agents or in RNA-based therapeutics. Additionally, the methylation at the 5-position can affect the nucleoside's interaction with RNA polymerases and other proteins, potentially altering its role in cellular processes. The compound is typically studied in biochemical and pharmacological contexts, where its unique properties may contribute to the understanding of nucleic acid function and regulation. Its CAS number, 113886-70-7, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and literature.
