Abstract
Ribose and nucleoside derivatives are important molecules used as drugs. They are structural subunits of nucleic acids and usually obtained by chemical or enzymatic decomposition of nucleic acid. These derivatives are important organic molecules used in the transport of genetic information in living cells. For example, antiviral drugslike a cyclovir are used to prevent viral replication in infected cells. The importance of synthesis of nucleoside, considering probiotics, is increasing because of medical usage for 50 years for patients with cancer or viral infections. The β-D-ribofuranose form of ribose is normal sugar and forms the backbone of RNA. Phosphorylated ribose derivatives such as ATP play important roles in metabolism. Although this study is concerned with the synthesis of ribose and nucleoside derivatives in literature, novel derivatives and methods for the synthesis of ribose and nucleoside analogues are still needed due to their biological importance in synthetic organic chemistry. This review covers the synthesized ribose and nucleoside analogues in literature reported from 1914 up to this day.

Introduction
Ribose synthesized fromthe living body an organic compound classified as a monosaccharide is used as medicine and is also found in RNA as a kind of sugar (Scheme 1), for example, ribonucleotides, nucleic acids, riboflavin, etc. Nucleotides are important macromolecules that convey genetic information in cells. At the mean time, they are the molecular building blocks of DNA and RNA. Many nucleosides represent important classes of antineoplastic and antiviral therapeutics.
Prostacyclins (3) are molecules with potent aggregation-inhibitory, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative properties [1]. The poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]–ribose) polymerase plays a key role in the repair of DNA single-strand breaks and the repair of base excisions [2]. There are antitumor and antiviral effect of some natural carbocyclic nucleosides [1e] like aristeromycin [3] (4), neplanocin A [4] (5), carbovir [5] (6), abacavir [6] (7), cyclopentenyl cytosine [7] (8), 2'deoxy-ribofuranosyl nucleosides [8] (9) and arabinofuranosyl nucleosides [8] (10).

It is also known that 3'-azido-3'deoxythymidine [9] (11) and 2', 3'-dideoxynucleosides [10] (12) are effective against the acquired immune defiency syndrome (AIDS) and a therapeutic agent (Scheme 2).

In 1937, Levene and Compton wrote an article on the synthesis of theophyllineD-allomethyloside [13].
In 1946 and 1947, Howard et al. developed a method for the synthesis of adenosine and purin nucleoside anologs in a series of studies [14]. The synthesis of methyl-D-ribofuranoside was obtained by oxidation in the presence of sodium metaperiodate and methylation by Barker in 1948 [15].

Friedkin and Kalckar described the isolation and properties of the highly acidic phosphate ester obtained by the phosphorolytic cleavage of purine deoxyribose nucleosides [16]. The phosphoric acid esters of 2-deoxy-D-ribose are important in biochemical transformain. Racker purified the deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase enzyme from E. coli extract and described a way for the biosynthesis of deoxyribose-5-phosphate in 1952 [17]. 2-Deoxy-D-ribose-5- phosphate aldolase (DERA) is widely found in animal tissues and microorganism. DERA is obtained from the aldol condensation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and acetaldehyde.

Conclusion
Nucleosides used in agriculture (eg herbicides), biotechnology (eg DNA sequencing) and medicine are useful molecules [1e,85]. Deoxyribonucleic acid is depicted as template for the development of organism. Deoxyribose is a monosaccharide of five carbon atoms with a hydroxyl group in each atom. Cyclopentitols as a ribose derivativeis found as a component of an organism or as a product of microorganism. There are a number of studies for the synthesis of cyclopentitols, because they haved an important role in synthetic organic chemistry in recent years [86]. The priorities of science around the world are new, more efficient and versatile researches showing anti-cancer, antibacterial, antitumor, antimicrobial and anti-hiv properties [1d]. In some natural and synthetic carbocyclic nucleosides, antiviral and antitumor effects such as aristeromycin (1), neplanocin A (2), carbovir (3), abacavir (4) were observed [1]. These important properties make cyclopentitols derivatives important for the synthesis of new drugs. In this paper, we aimed to explain the synthesis of several ribose and nucleoside derivatives that can act as key compounds for the preparation of biological active molecules.
