Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2007;26(10-12):1249-53. doi: 10.1080/15257770701528222.

Abstract

An efficient five step synthesis of benzamide riboside (BR) amenable for a large scale synthesis has been developed. It allows for extensive pre-clinical studies of BR as a potential anticancer agent.
