6-Chloro-2-iodopurine-9-riboside

Uses

9H-Purine, 6-chloro-2-iodo-9-β-D-ribofuranosyl- (6-CHLORO-2-IODOPURINE-9-RIBOSIDE) is a purine nucleoside analogue. 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[1].
