1,2-Di-O-acetyl-3-azido-3-deoxy-5-O-(4-methyl)benzoyl-D-ribofuranose

1,2-Di-O-acetyl-3-azido-3-deoxy-5-O-(4-methyl)benzoyl-D-ribofuranose is a purine nucleoside analog. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad antitumor activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. Anticancer mechanisms in this process rely on inhibition of DNA synthesis, induction of apoptosis, etc. 1,2-Di-O-acetyl-3-azido-3-deoxy-5-O-(4-methyl)benzoyl-D-ribofuranose is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
