Abstract
Tubercidin represents one of the most widely recognized nucleosides isolated from natural sources. The major structural difference between adenosine and tubercidin is that one of the nitrogen atom is replaced by a C-H group in the heterocyclic base. Tubercidin was first introduced into the clinic over 40 years ago. Since then, there has been a steady interest and this review discusses the various approaches related to the synthesis of tubercidin and its derivatives. The key aspects related to isolation, structure-activity relationships and biological activity are also discussed.
Keywords: Tubercidin, natural product, nucleosides, antibiotic, synthesis.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
