6-Methylcytidine

CAS : 16710-12-6

6-Methylcytidine is a nucleoside that is structurally related to uridine, which is an acceptor in DNA and RNA synthesis. It is synthesized from 8-bromoadenosine, which undergoes deamination by cytidine deaminase. 6-Methylcytidine can be used as a building block for the synthesis of other nucleosides with different conformational properties. It has been shown to inhibit the replication of pancreatic cancer cells and has been used in molecular modeling studies. However, its uptake into cells has been found to be very low. This may be due to its conformational properties and the presence of 8-oxoguanosine, which inhibits adenosine uptake into cells.
