C-Nucleosides
In C-nucleosides, a carbon-carbon bond links the nucleobase (or nucleobase analog) to the sugar. This is in contrast to canonical nucleosides, where a nitrogen atom links the base to the ribose or 2'-deoxyribose. The best-known natural C-nucleoside is pseudouridine. Several therapeutic nucleosides (or their prodrug forms used as active pharmaceutical ingredients) are known that are C-nucleosides.
