5-Iodocytosine is a modified pyrimidine used in the synthesis of molecules such as pyrrolocytosine and biologically active derivatives.[1]
Application
5-Iodocytosine has been used as iodinated nucleotide with the single crystals of the 3D DNA designed motif for single anomalous dispersion (SAD) studies.[2]
The Pd0/Cu1 catalyzed cross-coupling of terminal alkynes onto peptide nucleic acid monomers or submonomers bearing iodinated nucleobases has been utilized as a route to base-modified oligomers. Both 5-iodouracil and 5-iodocytosine derivatives undergo the cross-coupling to give the expected products in
Mouse RS21-C6 is a mammalian 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase that prefers 5-iodocytosine.
The virally encoded integrase protein carries out retroviral integration, and to do so, it must make specific interactions with both viral and target DNA sequences. The retroviral integrase has three domains: an amino-terminal region of about 50 amino acids that
As part of our ongoing investigation of the synthesis of biologically interesting 2'-modified-4'-thionucleosides, we synthesized 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-4'-thioarabinofuranosylpyrimidine and -purine nucleosides, and evaluated their antiviral and antitumor activities. In the pyrimidine series, beta-anomers of 5-ethyluracil, 5-iodouracil, 5-chloroethyluracil, and 5-iodocytosine derivatives showed potent
We have employed a tandem Sonogashira/annulation reaction between 5-iodocytosine derivatives and terminal alkynes to yield the fluorescent bicyclic nucleobase pyrrolcytosine. Pyrrolocytosine bearing substituents only on the pyrrole ring are conveniently synthesized from 5-iodocytosine. Water soluble pyrrolocytosines are being investigated as
