Common NameN(4)-acetyl-2'-deoxycytidine
DescriptionN(4)-acetyl-2'-deoxycytidine is a nucleoside derivative belonging to the class of modified deoxynucleosides. Its chemical structure features a deoxyribose sugar linked to a cytosine base that is acetylated at the N(4) position. This modification can influence the stability and reactivity of nucleic acids. N(4)-acetyl-2'-deoxycytidine is involved in various biochemical pathways, including the synthesis of CPD-containing oligonucleotides, where it plays a role in the formation of nucleic acid structures with specific properties. For instance, in a study focused on synthesizing these oligonucleotides, researchers prepared properly-protected thymidylyl-(3' 5')-N(4)-acetyl-2'-deoxycytidine and subjected it to UV irradiation using acetophenone as a sensitizer, highlighting its utility in photochemical applications (PMID:18776441 ). The acetyl group may also affect interactions with enzymes and other biomolecules, potentially influencing processes such as DNA replication and repair. Overall, N(4)-acetyl-2'-deoxycytidine serves as an important building block in the design of nucleic acid analogs and contributes to our understanding of nucleic acid chemistry.
