5'-O-Benzoyl-2'-deoxy-N2-isobutyrylguanosine is a novel nucleoside that is synthesized by the modification of 5'-O-benzoyl-2'-deoxyguanosine with 2',3' -diisobutyrylaminopropylidene. It has shown anticancer, antiviral, and antiretroviral properties in vitro. In addition, this compound has been shown to inhibit the growth of human leukemia cells in vivo in a dose dependent manner. The structure of 5'-O-benzoyl-2'-deoxy-N2-isobutyrylguanosine is similar to that of the natural nucleosides adenosine and guanosine.
