2''-Deoxyguanosine is a purine nucleoside with diverse biological activities. It inhibits the clonogenic growth of HL-60 and K562 leukemia cells (IC₅₀s = 80 and 100 μM, respectively). 2''-Deoxyguanosine inhibits the growth of MOLT-4 T cells and MGL-8 B cells by 99.8 and 68.3%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 50 μM. It increases the number of binucleated cells, a marker of inhibited cytokinesis, in A. sativum meristems. 2''-Deoxyguanosine (>1 μM) also induces relaxation of precontracted isolated bovine lingual artery.

2′-Deoxyguanosine monohydrate has been used as a nucleoside supplement:
to study its effect on mitochondrial DNA copy number in deoxyguanosine kinase (dguok) mutant zebrafish,
in tissue culture medium for deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) synthesis,
in RPMI (Roswell Park Memorial Institute)-1640 medium to eliminate the endogenous thymocytes.

ChEBI: 2'-Deoxyguanosine monohydrate is a purine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside having guanine as the nucleobase. It has a role as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a purines 2'-deoxy-D-ribonucleoside and a purine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside. It is functionally related to a guanosine.

Deoxyguanosine (dG) is a purine nucleoside that upon sequential phosphorylation (kinases) forms deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP) which is used by DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases to synthesize DNA(s). Deoxyguanosine is the most electron-rich of the four canonical bases and includes many nucleophilic sites which are susceptible to oxidative damage. This makes deoxyguanosine and its oxidized derivatives useful reagents to study mechanisms of oxidative damage to nucleosides and nucleotides.
