Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2003 May-Aug;22(5-8):915-7. doi: 10.1081/NCN-120022685.

Abstract

The bicyclic 3'-O,5'-C-methylene-linked and 2'-O,5'-C-methylene-linked 5-azacytidine derivatives were readily synthesized from 1,2;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucose and evaluated against several cancer cell lines.
