5-(2-Azidoethyl)cytidine

Description

5- 2-Azidoethyl cytidine is a cytidine nucleoside analog. Cytidine analogs have a mechanism of inhibiting DNA methyltransferases such as Zebularine, HY-13420 , and have potential anti-metabolic and anti-tumor activities. 5- 2-Azidoethyl cytidine is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction CuAAc with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition SPAAC reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
