Asymmetric syntheses of L-carbocyclic 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxy- and 2',3'-dideoxypyrimidine and purine nucleoside analogues were accomplished, and their anti-HIV and anti-HBV activities were evaluated. The key intermediate, (1S, 4R)-1-benzoyloxy-4-(tert-butoxymethyl)cyclopent-2-ene (7), was prepared by benzoylation of the alcohol 2, selective deprotection of the isopropylidene group of 3, followed by thermal elimination via cyclic ortho ester or deoxygenation via cyclic thionocarbonate. The target compounds were also synthesized by thermal elimination via cyclic ortho esters from protected nucleosides. It was found that L-carbocyclic 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxyadenosine (34) exhibited potent anti-HBV activity (EC(50) = 0.9 microM) and moderate anti-HIV activity (EC(50) = 2.4 microM) in vitro without cytotoxicity up to 100 microM.

D000241 Adenosine A nucleoside that is composed of ADENINE and D-RIBOSE. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter. Adenocard,Adenoscan
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.
