Description

1-(b-D-Xylofuranosyl)cytosine is a nucleoside analog that is used in the treatment of cancer. It inhibits DNA replication by binding to the RNA template strand and blocking the incorporation of cytosine. 1-(b-D-Xylofuranosyl)cytosine has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on tumor cell lines, with a thermal expansion coefficient similar to biphenyl. The molecular weight of 1-(b-D-xylofuranosyl)cytosine is approximately 244 g/mol, which is greater than that of water (18 g/mol). 1-(b-D-xylofuranosyl)cytosine also binds to double stranded DNA with high affinity, leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and cell division. In addition, this compound has been shown to bind to naphthalene and form adducts with its hydroxyl groups.
