7-(Butyn-2-yl)-7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-9-(β-D-xylofuranosyl)guanine

7-(Butyn-2-yl)-7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-9-(β-D-xylofuranosyl)guanine 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. 7-(Butyn-2-yl)-7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-9-(β-D-xylofuranosyl)guanine is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
