Carbasugar analogues often lack biological activity, which is attributed to an unfavorable conformation. Locked nucleoside analogues, however, can mantain the ribose-like conformation. Another synthetic access is published in by Lak Shin Joeng and colleagues from Seoul National University (S. )

They were able to report the synthesis of the conformationally locked cytidine nucleoside analogue in 19 steps.
