Uses

(2R)-2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-2-methyl-β-D-erythro-pentofuranose?3,5-Dibenzoate has been employed in a study to investigate potent inhibitors against CD38 NADase, an enzyme involved with the metabolism of nicotinamide and calcium?signalling pathway. It also has utility in the stereoselective synthesis of?β-D-2''-Deoxy-2''-α-fluoro-2''-β-C-methyl-3'',5''-cyclic phosphate nucleotide, a prodrug for treating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
