2-Deoxy-L-Ribose

2-Deoxy-L-Ribose is the key intermediate in the synthesis of L-nucleosides.  Recently, natural and modified L-nucleoside are attracting attention as anti-viral agents.  Some L-nucleosides, such as L-thymidine, L-2'-thiacytidine (3TC) and L-2',3'-dideoxycytidine (L-ddC), are much less toxic and possess better anti-viral activity than their D-isomers.  In addition, L-nucleosides have good effect in antisense oligonucleotide therapy.
