6-Mthoxy-9-beta-D-(2-C-ethynyl-ribofuranosyl) purine

6-Mthoxy-9-beta-D-(2-C-ethynyl-ribofuranosyl) purine is a purine nucleoside analog. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad antitumor activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. Anticancer mechanisms in this process rely on inhibition of DNA synthesis, induction of apoptosis, etc. 6-Mthoxy-9-beta-D-(2-C-ethynyl-ribofuranosyl) purine is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
