Novel pyrimidine nucleosides were synthesized using 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine as a starting material. These compounds demonstrate significant antiviral activity against vaccinia and cowpox viruses.

Area of Science:

  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Virology
  • Organic Synthesis

Background:

  • 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides are a class of compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
  • Orthopoxviruses, including vaccinia and cowpox viruses, are significant human and animal pathogens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides.
  • To evaluate the antiviral activity of these novel nucleosides against orthopoxviruses.

Main Methods:

  • Nucleoside synthesis utilizing 5-formyl-2 eal'-deoxyuridine as a precursor.
  • Antiviral assays to determine efficacy against vaccinia virus and cowpox virus.

Main Results:

  • Successful generation of novel 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides.
