The 8-oxoguanosine derivative 1 and the 8-oxoinosine derivative 2 b, with appropriate substituents on their ribose moieties, form hexagonal lyotropic mesophases in hydrocarbon solvents. Small-angle X-ray scattering analysis of a film of 1 and of the mesophase of 2 b, and NMR and CD spectra of isotropic solutions of 2 b, indicate that in both cases the supramolecular structures adopted are continuous helices formed by a hydrogen-bond network between the heterocyclic bases. Notably, while derivative 2 b, which bears large substituents on its ribose moiety, undergoes self-assembly and mesophase formation, oxoinosine 2 a, with only decanoyl groups on its ribose moiety, does not. This may be ascribed to the reduced amphiphilic properties of the latter and the absence of aromatic groups.

Rigidified nucleoside derivatives with (N)-methanocarba replacement of ribose have been repurposed as peripheral subtype-selective 5-HT serotonin receptor antagonists for heart and lung fibrosis and intestinal/vascular conditions. 4'-Cyano derivative (MRS8209; , 4.27 nM) was 47-fold (human binding, but not rat and mouse) and 724-fold (functionally) selective at 5-HTR, compared to antitarget 5-HTR, and predicted to form a stable receptor complex using docking and molecular dynamics.

Benzothiazole-bearing compounds have emerged as potential noncovalent DprE1 (decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose-2'-epimerase) inhibitors active against . Based on structure-based virtual screening (PDB ID: 4KW5), a focused library of thirty-one skeletally diverse benzothiazole amides was prepared, and the compounds were assessed for their antitubercular activity against H37Ra. Most potent compounds and were further evaluated against the H37Rv strain by the microdilution assay method.

Carbohydrate derivatives play a crucial roles in biochemical and medicinal research, especially in the fields of chemistry and biochemistry. From this perspective, the present study was designed to explore the synthesis of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside derivatives (1-8), focusing on their efficacy against bacterial and fungal inhibition. The structure of the synthesized compounds was ascertained using FTIR, H-NMR, C-NMR, mass and elemental analyses.

Building on the preceding structural analysis and a structure-activity relationship (SAR) of 8-aryl-2-hexynyl nucleoside hAAR antagonist , we strategically inverted C2/C8 substituents and eliminated the ribose moiety. These modifications aimed to mitigate potential steric interactions between ribose and adenosine receptors. The SAR findings indicated that such inversions significantly modulated hAAR binding affinities depending on the type of ribose, whereas removal of ribose altered the functional efficacy via hAAR.

PARPi have been explored and applied in the treatment of various cancers with remarkable efficacy, especially BRCA1/2 mutated ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. However, PARPi renders inevitable drug resistance and showed high toxicity because of PARP-Trapping with long-term clinic tracking. To overcome the drug resistance and the high toxicity of PARPi, many novel methods have been developed including PROTACs.
