Synthesis of 5-Substituted Pyrimidine Nucleosides
Uridine-5-carboxaldehyde (I), uridien-5-carboxylic acid (II), and 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyluronic acid) uracil-5-carboxaldehyde (III) were isolated and characterized form the reaction products obtained after catalytic oxidation of uridine-5-methanol (IV). Five aldehyde hydrazone derivatives of I and III were synthesized.

Phosphonoamidate prodrugs of C5-substituted pyrimidine acyclic nucleosides for antiviral therapy [PDF]
Acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs) are nowadays one of the key drugs in the treatment of DNA virus and retrovirus infections. In this work, we report the synthesis and antiviral evaluation of phosphonoamidate and diamidates prodrugs of C5-pyrimidine ...

How Plants May Maintain Protein Homeostasis Under Rising Atmospheric CO2
ABSTRACT Vascular plants may employ several physiological mechanisms to stabilize their protein contents as atmospheric CO2 concentrations change over a day, year, decade, or century. One mechanism is that plants may rely more on soil ammonium as their nitrogen source when CO2 increases.

Drug design and identification of potent leads against Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidine monophosphate kinase [PDF]
Antiviral chemotherapy often relies on nucleoside analogues, which, once phophorylated by intracellular kinases, target viral polymerases impeding DNA synthesis. In contrast, nucleoside analogues are much less explored as antibacterial drugs.

Targeting Kinetoplastid Parasites with ProTide Prodrugs: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health challenge, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Kinetoplastid parasites causing Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and African trypanosomiasis rely on host purine salvage pathways, making nucleoside analogues attractive therapeutic candidates.

Effect of C5-Methylation of Cytosine on the UV-Induced Reactivity of Duplex DNA: Conformational and Electronic Factors [PDF]
International audienceC5-methylation of cytosines is strongly correlated with UV-induced mutations detected in skin cancers. Mutational hot-spots appearing at TCG sites are due to the formation of pyrimidine cyclobutane dimers (CPDs).

We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

RNA synthesis in mitochondria isolated from rat liver [PDF]
Mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) was synthesized from purine and pyrimidine nucleosides in coupling with oxidative phosphorylation using isolated mitochondria. The in vivo synthesized mtRNA was adenine-uracil rich and sedimented at about 20 S by sucrose density
