3’-O-(2-Methoxyethyl)guanosine

Names

[ Name ]:
3’-O-(2-Methoxyethyl)guanosine

Biological Activity

[Description]:

3’-O-(2-Methoxyethyl)guanosine is a guanosine analogue. Some guanosine analogs have immunostimulatory activity. In some animal models, they also induce type I interferons, producing antiviral effects. Studies have shown that the functional activity of guanosine analogs is dependent on the activation of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)[1].
