Nucleobases including adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and uracil (U), are the basic building blocks of nucleic acids. Nucleosides consist of a nucleobase and a sugar ring (20-deoxyribose for DNA and ribose for RNA). Nucleotides are composed of a nucleoside, and at least one phosphate group. Being referred to as the nucleoside analogs, chemotherapeutic nucleoside, nucleotide, and base analogs are antimetabolites. Nucleoside analogs have been a cornerstone for anticancer and antiviral chemotherapy for decades. Nucleoside and nucleotide derivatives can inhibit key cellular enzymes, providing a secondary mode of action that inhibits cell growth.

Below is a list of our nucleosides & nucleotides analogs:

Anticancer nucleoside analogs

Cytotoxic nucleoside analogues and nucleosidases were the first chemotherapeutic drugs to be used to treat cancer. These compounds have been developed to include a variety of pyrimidine nucleoside derivatives, which are active in solid tumors and hematological malignancies. The anti-metabolic drugs compete with physiological nucleosides and interact with a large number of intracellular targets to induce cytotoxicity.

7-deazapurine (pyrrolo [2, 3-d] pyrimidine) nucleosides display a variety of biological effects, such as antiviral and cytotoxicity against neoplastic cell lines. Thanks to their resemblance to natural purine nucleosides, 7-deazapurine nucleosides can interfere with enzymes of nucleosides, 7-deazapurine nucleosides can interfere with enzymes of nucleoside metabolism, kinases, RNA and DNA synthesis and so on.

Nucleosides and 2’-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) bearing phenothiazine (PT) attached to a nucleobase (cytosine or 7-deazaadenine) either directly or through an acetylene linker were prepared through Suzuki or Sonogashira cross-coupling and triphosphorylation. The syntheses started from commercial 2'-deoxy-5-iodocytidine or from well-known 2′-deoxy-7-iodo-7-deazaadenosine, which were triphosphorylated to the corresponding dNTPs.
