L-Threonolactone
L-Threonolactone ((3R,4S) -3,4-Dihydroxyoxolan-2-one) is a purine nucleoside analog. Purine nucleoside analogs have broad antitumor activity targeting indolent lymphoid malignancies. Anticancer mechanisms in this process rely on inhibition of DNA synthesis, induction of apoptosis, etc[1].
