Condensation of the 3'-ketonucleoside 4 with diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate by a Wittig reaction afforded, after reduction of the unsaturated branched chain sugar nucleoside 5 with sodium borohydride, a mixture of 9-(2',5'-di-O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-3'-C-cyanomethyl-3'-deoxy-beta-D-ribo - and xylofuranosyl) adenines 6 and 7, which were separated after selective removal of the 5'-O-tBDMS group. Acetylation gave the monoacetylated ribo- and the triacetylated xylo compounds 10 and 11. Desilylation using tetrabutylammonium fluoride afforded the partially protected ribo isomer 12. The same treatment of 11 was accompanied by a N----O transacetylation giving the fully protected xylo compound 13a, from which the 2'-O-acetyl group was selectively removed using hydroxylaminium acetate. Treatment of 12 and 13b with phenoxythiocarbonyl chloride followed by deoxygenation with tributyltin hydride in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile, and deacetylation in methanol saturated with ammonia afforded 9-(3'-C-cyanomethyl-2',3'-dideoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl) adenine 2 and 9-(3'-C-cyanomethyl-2'3'-dideoxy-beta-D-threo-pentofuranosyl) adenine 3.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D006678 HIV Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.

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.

D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.

D015224 Dideoxynucleosides Nucleosides that have two hydroxy groups removed from the sugar moiety. The majority of these compounds have broad-spectrum antiretroviral activity due to their action as antimetabolites. The nucleosides are phosphorylated intracellularly to their 5'-triphosphates and act as chain-terminating inhibitors of viral reverse transcription. 2',3'-Dideoxynucleosides,Dideoxyribonucleosides,ddNus,2',3' Dideoxynucleosides
