The C-Nucleoside Antibiotics

  • Chapter
Book cover Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products

Abstract

Nucleosides, in which a carbohydrate unit is linked to a heterocyclic base, are fundamental components of nucleic acids and nucleotide coenzymes, where they occur in phosphorylated form. In most nucleosides the sugar, either D-ribose or 2-deoxy-D-erythro pentose (“2-deoxyribose”), is linked to a nitrogen atom of a pyrimidine or purine, as in the ribonucleosides uridine (1) and adenosine (2).
