Abstract
Based on the potent anti-HIV activity of L-2',3'-dideoxycytidine (L-ddC), L-2',3'-dideoxy-4'-selenonucleosides (L-4'-Se-ddNs) have been synthesized from natural chiral template, L-glutamic acid, using Pummerer-type condensation as a key step. All synthesized compounds were assayed for anti-HIV-1 activity, but none of them did show any significant antiviral activity up to 100 μM, probably due to conformational differences between L-ddC and L-4'-Se-ddC, induced by the bulky selenium atom, which might play an important role in phosphorylation by cellular kinase.Entities:
