Novel acyclic nucleoside analogues were designed and synthesized as open-chain analogues of neplanocin A. The coupling of the allylic bromide with pyrimidine bases using cesium carbonate afforded a series of novel acyclic nucleosides. The synthesized compounds 15-22 were evaluated for their antiviral activity against various viruses such as HIV, HSV-1, HSV-2, and HCMV.

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.
