Characteristics of Ribonucleosides
A nucleoside is formed by condensing pentose sugar with a base. In its structural composition, the first carbon atom of the sugar is linked to the first nitrogen atom of the pyrimidine or the ninth nitrogen atom of the purine by an N-glycosidic bond. The pentose sugar is a furan ring structure, C1 is an asymmetric carbon atom, and the base is perpendicular to the plane of the sugar ring. Nucleosides are a very important class of small biological molecules involved in the molecular mechanisms of gene retention, replication, and transcription in living organisms. This is the main reason why nucleosides are effective in controlling and treating persistent diseases such as AIDS, tumors, and Hepatitis B. This proves that nucleoside compounds have a very high status in the treatment of viruses, and at the same time, nucleoside drugs are recognized as the compounds with the most antiviral potential.
