Zalcitabine (ddC) is a dideoxynucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). Its molecular formula is C9H13N5O3 with CAS No. 7481-89-4. The core process involves enzymatic synthesis to ensure high purity for pharmaceutical-grade supply.
Strictly limited due to severe neurotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy risks. Requires storage in cool, dry conditions below 25°C. Clinical use is now restricted or discontinued in favor of safer alternatives like tenofovir.
