Nucleoside Intermediates
Nucleoside intermediates are chemical compounds that serve as precursors or intermediates in the synthesis of nucleosides, fundamental building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. Structurally, nucleoside intermediates consist of a nitrogenous base (such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, or uracil) linked to a sugar molecule (such as ribose or deoxyribose) via a glycosidic bond. These intermediates are synthesized through organic chemistry methods, often involving the selective protection and activation of functional groups to facilitate the coupling of the base and sugar components. Nucleoside intermediates play a pivotal role in pharmaceutical and biochemical research, serving as starting materials for the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and nucleoside-based drugs used in antiviral, anticancer, and antiparasitic therapies.
