Deoxycytidine. Cytosine Deoxyribonucleoside . Cytosine Deoxyriboside . Deoxyribonucleoside, Cytosine . Deoxyriboside, Cytosine . A nucleoside component of DNA composed of CYTOSINE and DEOXYRIBOSE. . 1.00
Deoxycytidine Kinase. Kinase, Deoxycytidine . An enzyme that catalyzes reversibly the phosphorylation of deoxycytidine with the formation of a nucleoside diphosphate and deoxycytidine monophosphate. Cytosine arabinoside can also act as an acceptor. All natural nucleoside triphosphates, except deoxycytidine triphosphate, can act as donors. The enzyme is induced by some viruses, particularly the herpes simplex virus (HERPESVIRUS HOMINIS). EC 2.7.1.74. . 0.82
Zalcitabine. HIVID Roche . Hivid . NSC-606170 . 2',3' Dideoxycytidine . NSC 606170 . NSC606170 . ddC (Antiviral) . 2',3'-Dideoxycytidine . Dideoxycytidine . A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by a hydrogen. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is a potent inhibitor of HIV replication at low concentrations, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA by binding to reverse transcriptase. Its principal toxic side effect is axonal degeneration resulting in peripheral neuropathy. . 0.71
