Isocytidine is a synthetic nucleoside . It consists of β- D ribofuranose (sugar) and the nucleobase isocytosine . It is an isomer of cytidine , with the amino group and carbonyl group switching places. The other isomers are pseudocytidine and pseudoisocytidine . Compared to other pyrimidine ribonucleosides, isocytidine can easily be hydrolyzed with dilute acetic acid .
