cytosine-1-b-d-ribofuranoside

Cytidine (Cytosine-1-β-D-ribofuranoside) is a pyrimidine nucleoside comprised of a cytosine bound to ribose via a beta-N1-glycosidic bond. Cytidine is a precursor for uridine. Both cytidine and uridine are utilized in RNA synthesis.

L-Cytidine, an L-configurational form of Cytidine, is a pyrimidine nucleoside and a component of RNA. It influences the glial glutamate cycle, brain phospholipid metabolism, catecholamine synthesis, and mitochondrial function [1] [2].

Cytidine-5'-triphosphate (Cytidine triphosphate) is a compound widely found in living organisms that serves as an energy substance, as a building block for nucleotide and nucleic acid and lipid biosynthesis, and activates protein kinase reactions.
