5-Formyl-2’-O-methylcytidine

Names

[ Name ]:
5-Formyl-2’-O-methylcytidine

Biological Activity

[Description]:

5-Formyl-2’-O-methylcytidine is a cytidine nucleoside analog. Cytidine analogs have a mechanism of inhibiting DNA methyltransferases (such as Zebularine, HY-13420), and have potential anti-metabolic and anti-tumor activities[1].
