Nucleosides are glycosylamines that can be thought of as nucleotides without a phosphate group. A nucleoside consists simply of a nucleobase (also termed a nitrogenous base) and a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose), whereas a nucleotide is composed of a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. In a nucleoside, the anomeric carbon is linked through a glycosidic bond to the N9 of a purine or the N1 of a pyrimidine. Examples of nucleosides include cytidine, uridine, adenosine, guanosine, thymidine and inosine.
N4-Acetylcytidine is a modified nucleoside and endogenous urinary nucleoside product of the degradation of tRNA. N4-Acetylcytidine is a biological marker for various cancers with elevated concentrations present in urine. N4-Acetylcytidine is also a partially protected cytidine and therefore can be used as a synthetic building block to prepare further derivatized nucleosides such as 2’,3’-dideoxycytidine.
