Product Information
- 1-(b-L-ribofuranosyl)cytosine
- beta-L-Cytidine
L-Cytidine is a nucleoside that is found in the body, and is also used as a drug. It is a precursor to other nucleosides, such as cytidine triphosphate, which is involved in DNA synthesis and repair. L-Cytidine has been shown to be effective against HIV infection by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme ns3 protease. This inhibition prevents viral proteins from being released from cells and infecting other cells. L-Cytidine has also been shown to be an inhibitor of creatine kinase and glycosidation, two enzymes that are necessary for cell metabolism. L-Cytidine has also been shown to be reactive with halides, which may lead to unwanted side effects.
