2',5'-Dideoxy-8,5'-cycloadenosine is an anticancer nucleoside. It is a modified deoxyribonucleoside that contains a 2'-deoxyribose sugar with a ribose sugar at the 5' position. This product has been shown to be active against DNA and RNA viruses in the lab. It also has antiviral properties and can inhibit the synthesis of DNA, RNA, or both. The chemical structure of this product is novel and has not been found in nature. 2',5'-Dideoxy-8,5'-cycloadenosine monophosphate (2',5'-ddCMP) is an anticancer nucleoside that inhibits the synthesis of DNA and RNA by inhibiting the enzymes DNA polymerase and reverse transcriptase respectively. This product has been shown to be active against DNA and RNA viruses in vitro. It also has antiviral properties and can inhibit the synthesis of DNA, RNA,
