Product Information

• Name: 3'-Deoxy-3'-fluorocytidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3'-Deoxy-3'-fluorocytidine is an activating agent that has been shown to inhibit coxsackie virus and other single-stranded RNA viruses. It is a nucleoside analogue that binds to the enzyme ribofuranoside, preventing the formation of the active site. 3'-Deoxy-3'-fluorocytidine has also been shown to inhibit the biochemical reactions involving S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, which catalyzes the conversion of S-adenosylhomocysteine into adenosine, a precursor for DNA synthesis. Mechanistic studies have indicated that 3'-deoxy-3'-fluorocytidine inhibits enzymatic activity through stereochemical interactions with S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase.
