Studying the Chemical Reactivity Properties of Cytosine and its Antiviral Analogues: Zebularine, 5-Aza-Cytosine And 5-Aza-5,6-Dihydro-Cytosine through Density Functional Theory

2021-06-21

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> Zebularine, 5-aza-cytosine and 5-aza-5,6-dihydro-cytosine are structurally similar to cytosine, but their biological functions are rather different. Cytosine can be methylated which is a gene lesion that can cause human disease. On the contrary, zebularine and 5-aza-cytosine are inhibitors of DNA methylation. 5-aza-5,6-dihydro-cytosine is specifically designed to induce lethal mutagenes...
