Spacer-C3 Cep is a novel modified nucleoside phosphoramidite. It has been chemically modified with a spacer arm and 3-Cep (1,2-diaminoethane). Spacer-C3 Cep is an activator for DNA polymerases, which are enzymes that synthesize DNA from deoxyribonucleosides. The modified nucleoside phosphoramidite has antiviral and anticancer activities. It can be used in the synthesis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides for gene therapy or as a monophosphate for the preparation of DNA probes. Spacer-C3 Cep can also be used to synthesize ribonucleotide analogs that inhibit viral replication by inhibiting RNA synthesis.
