CAS 443642-38-4: 4H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one,2-amino-1,7-dihydro-7-(2-C-methyl-b-D-ribofuranosyl)- (9CI)

7-Deaza-2'-C-methylguanosine is a nucleoside that is obtained from the synthesis of 7-deazaguanosine. It has antiviral activity and has been shown to be an activator for DNA synthesis. This compound is used as a monophosphate, diphosphate, or phosphoramidite in the synthesis of oligonucleotides. 7-Deaza-2'-C-methylguanosine has been shown to have anticancer properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit ribonucleotide reductase and thus inhibit DNA synthesis.
