Nucleic Acid Based Fluorinated Derivatives: New Tools for Biomedical Applications
Nucleic acid-based fluorinated derivatives, e.g., nucleosides or oligonucleotides connected to highly fluorinated chains or labeled with one or more fluorine atoms, have been investigated recently due to their high potential for biomedical applications ...

Radiosensitizing Nucleosides [PDF]
Chemotherapeutic drugs that perturb nucleotide metabolism have the potential to produce substantial sensitization of tumor cells to radiation treatment. The process is called radiosensitization, and the agents that induce it are called radiosensitizers.

Carbamate-Based Bolaamphiphile as Low-Molecular-Weight Hydrogelators
A new bolaamphiphile analog featuring carbamate moieties was synthesized in six steps starting from thymidine. The amphiphile structure exhibits nucleoside-sugar polar heads attached to a hydrophobic spacer via carbamate (urethane) functions.

Adenosine as a signaling molecule in the retina: biochemical and developmental aspects
The nucleoside adenosine plays an important role as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the central nervous system, including the retina. In the present paper we review compelling evidence showing that adenosine is a signaling molecule in the ...
