Nucleoside Derivatives - Fluoro-modified nucleosides; 5-Modified pyrimidine nucleosides

2’,3’,5’-Tri-O-benzoyl-5-difluoromethyluridine is a novel modified nucleoside. It is a high quality monophosphate that can be used as an activator for DNA synthesis. This compound has shown anticancer activity in various cell lines and has antiviral properties. It can be used as a phosphoramidite for the synthesis of oligonucleotides. 2’,3’,5’-Tri-O-benzoyl-5-difluoromethyluridine is synthesized by using 5'-DMT-2',3',5' -triphosphate as the starting material. The diphosphate is then oxidized to form the corresponding triphosphate (the active form).
