Improved Synthesis of β-D-6-Methylpurine Riboside and Antitumor Effects of the β-D- and α-D-Anomers

6-Methylpurine-β-D-riboside (β-D-MPR) has been synthesized by coupling6-methylpurine and 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribose using conditions that producethe β-D-anomer exclusively. The in vitro antitumor effects of β-D-MPR and 6-methyl-purine-α-D-riboside (α-D-MPR) in five hum...
