9-(2-Deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-6-methylpurine

(2R,3S,5R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-5-(6-methyl-9H-purin-9-yl)tetrahydrofuran-3-ol (9-(2-Deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-6-methylpurine) is a purine nucleoside analogue. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad antitumor activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. Anticancer mechanisms in this process rely on inhibition of DNA synthesis, induction of apoptosis, etc.
