3'-O-Methylcytidine(CAS: 20594-00-7)

3'-O-Methylcytidine is a modified nucleoside derivative of cytidine where the hydroxyl group at position 3' is replaced by a methyl group. It is used in research and pharmaceutical applications, particularly as a component in drug development and as a tool in molecular biology.

3'-O-Methylcytidine is primarily used in pharmaceutical research to develop antiviral drugs and in molecular biology as a substrate for DNA and RNA synthesis. It is also used in therapeutic applications targeting hepatitis B and other viral infections.

3'-O-Methylcytidine is considered safe when handled with proper precautions. It is important to avoid contact with skin and eyes and to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Inhalation should be avoided, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn during handling.

3'-O-Methylcytidine should be stored in a tightly sealed container at a temperature below 25°C and away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its stability. It should be kept in a dry place and protected from high humidity levels.
