SYNTHESIS OF TRIHYDROXY-INOSINE

Abstract

Nucleoside derivatives with broken sugar moiety like dialdehydes or trioles have unusual structures and are called seco-nucleosides. They have different types of biological activity which till this time have not been studied enough. It is a result of the high reactivity of aldehydes and hydroxyl groups and the unusual structure of compounds. This article presents two approaches for the synthesis of trihydroxy-inosine from inosine. It was shown that the method for oxidation of diol groups of ribonucleosides using the ion exchange resin in IO4-former has preferences to the method which used NaIO4 as a reagent.
