2'-Deoxy-5'-O-DMT-2-thio-N4-toluoylthymidine 3'-CE phosphoramidite is a novel nucleoside analogue with anticancer activity. It has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of human colon cancer cells in vitro, and inhibits the growth of HIV in cultured T-cells. In addition, this compound was found to be active against herpes virus. 2'-Deoxy-5'-O-DMT-2-thio-N4-toluoylthymidine 3'-CE phosphoramidite is a nucleoside analogue with ribonucleosides at the 2' and 5' positions, while the 4' position is modified by an acetyl group. This modification prevents incorporation into DNA or RNA, and so prevents viral replication.
