( R )-2,3-o-isopropylidene-glyceraldehyde

(R) -2,3-o-isopropylidene-glyceraldehyde isetyenziswe njengendawo ephakathi kweGemcitabine.
I-Gemcitabine yi-pyrimidine nucleotide analogue, eyeyamachiza okulwa nomhlaza we-metabolic.Inokuthintela inkqubela phambili ye-DNA synthesis kwixesha elithile, oko kukuthi, isigaba se-S.Ineempawu ze-anticancer spectrum ebanzi, indlela eyodwa yokusebenza, ubutyhefu obuphantsi, akukho ukumelana nokuphambana namanye amachiza e-chemotherapeutic kwaye akukho ndawo yetyhefu.Namhlanje, i-gemcitabine ivunyiwe ukuba isetyenziswe kumazwe angaphezu kwama-90, ibe liyeza lokuqala lokunyanga umhlaza wemiphunga weseli ongeyonxalenye encinci kunye "nomgangatho wegolide" wonyango lomhlaza we-pancreatic.
