General description
2'-Deoxy-L-cytidine is a nucleoside that is naturally found
in the cells of E. coli K-12. It is an antioxidant compound that prevents lipid
peroxidation and scavenges free radicals, which are generated by certain
chemical reactions. 2'-Deoxy-L-cytidine has been shown to have antiviral
potency in vitro, but its antiviral activity has not been evaluated in vivo.
This compound also inhibits the growth of bacteria that are resistant to
tetracycline, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Helicobacter pylori. 2'-Deoxy-L-cytidine
may cause drug interactions with other medications because it is metabolized by
the CYP450 system and inhibits the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes.
Torcitabine (2'-Deoxy-L-cytidine) is an antiviral agent. Torcitabine has the potential
for chronic hepatitis B virus infection treatment.
