2′-deoxycytidine

2'-Deoxycytidine is one of the major nucleosides of DNA consisting of cytosine and deoxyribose and inhibits the biological effects of bromodeoxyuridine (Brdu). The nucleoside consists only of a pentose sugar attached to a purine or pyrimidine base and has no phosphate group. When N1 is attached to C1 of deoxyribose, deoxyribosides and nucleotides are formed from cytosine and deoxyribose; deoxycytidine monophosphate (dCMP), deoxycytidine diphosphate (dCDP), and deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP). cTP is the source of cytosine in RNA (ribonucleic acid) and deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP) is the source of deoxycytidine in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Itaconic acid is a polymer.

5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5MedCyd) is a pyrimidine nucleoside that when incorporated into single-stranded DNA can act in cis to signal de novo.

N4-Benzoyl-2′-deoxycytidine is a synthetic nucleoside analog of the natural nucleoside deoxycytidine (dC), a competitive inhibitor of DNA polymerase. In vitro studies have shown that it inhibits replication in viruses, bacteria and eukaryotic cells. It has also been shown to inhibit tumor cell growth in animal models.

2'-Deoxycytidine-5'-diphosphate trisodium (dCDP) is used as a substrate of CDP (nucleoside diphosphate) kinase (2.7.4.6) for the production of dCTP to support DNA biosynthesis and reverse transcription.

2'-Deoxycytidine-5'-monophosphoric acid (2'-Deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate) is a substrate of uridine monophosphate (UMP) cytidine monophosphate (CMP) kinase (EC 2.7.4.4) that forms dCDP, which, upon phosphorylation to dCTP, supports DNA biosynthesis.

5-Hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine is an oxidized derivative of 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5-mdC) in DNA, causing DNA damage reactions, chromosomal aberrations, replication fork damage, and loss of cell viability.5-Hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine is an oxidized derivative of 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA. Hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine replication fork instability is associated with the presence of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) on chromatin.

Decitabine (Deoxycytidine) is a deoxycytidine analog, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor with oral activity. Decitabine has antitumor activity and antimetabolic activity. Decitabine induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
