9-(3-Deoxy-3-fluoro-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-6-purine

9-(3-Deoxy-3-fluoro-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-6-[5-(propyn-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl]purine 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. 9-(3-Deoxy-3-fluoro-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-6-[5-(propyn-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl]purine is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
