[Synthesis of computer graphic calculated high-anti-fixed pyrimidine nucleoside analogs with potential virostatic and...

Novel C-5 substituted 6,2'-anhydrouridines 5a-e are synthesized from the hitherto unknown monosubstituted ribofuranosylbarbituric acid derivatives 4a-e. These molecules are high-anti-fixed by a 6,2'-linkage and were assumed to show antiviral and antineoplastic effects. In cell culture test systems, however, none of these biological activities could be detected up to now.
