Abstract:
A very simple route for synthesizing a novel carboacyclic version of 5 cent-noraristeromycin is described. Condensation of the mesylates 9 and 23 with the natural nucleosidic bases (A, U, T, C) under standard nucleophilic substitution (K(2)CO(3), 18-Crown-6, DMF) and deblocking conditions, afforded the target nucleosides 14, 15, 16, 17, 28, 29, 30, and 31. In addition, these compounds were evaluated for their antiviral properties against various viruses.

Antiviral Nucleoside Inhibitors
Antiviral Nucleoside InhibitorsAntiviral nucleoside inhibitors are structural analogs of natural nucleosides that interfere with viral DNA or RNA synthesis. These compounds selectively target viral polymerases due to their resemblance to host nucleosides, thereby disrupting viral genome replication.Mechanism of Acyclovir ActionAcyclovir is a guanosine analog with a three-carbon acyclic side chain. It selectively targets herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2),...

Inhibitors Of Virion Release
Viral replication and dissemination rely on efficient mechanisms for host cell entry, genome replication, assembly, and release. Influenza viruses, such as types A and B, are negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses with a segmented genome, that depend on two critical surface glycoproteins to carry out these processes: hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). HA initiates infection by binding to sialic acid residues on the surface of host epithelial cells, facilitating receptor-mediated...
