An efficient method for the N-2-deoxyribosylation of modified nucleobases by 2-deoxythioriboside donors is reported. In the presence of an in situ silylated nucleobase, thioglycosides can be activated with NIS/HOTf to give nucleosides in high yields and with good β-selectivity. By

Angiogenesis is the term used to describe the formation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature. In order to attract new vessels, a tissue must release an endothelial-cell chemoattractant. 2-Deoxy-D-ribose is produced in vivo by the catalytic action of

To elucidate the role of the sugar moiety in the two natural nucleotides of the 3'-overhang region of small interfering RNA (siRNA), we synthesized siRNAs that incorporated two abasic nucleosides, 1-deoxy-D-ribofuranose (R(H)). We improved the method for preparing an O-protected

5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5azaC-dR) has been employed as an inhibitor of DNA methylation, a chemotherapeutic agent, a clastogen, a mutagen, an inducer of fragile sites and a carcinogen. However, its effects are difficult to quantify because it rapidly breaks down in aqueous

The biological activity of catechol neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the synapse is modulated by transporters and enzymes. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) inactivates neurotransmitters by catalyzing the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to catechols in the presence of
