Synthesis and antiviral activity of a series of new cyclohexenyl nucleosides

Antivir Chem Chemother. 2003 Jan;14(1):31-7. doi: 10.1177/095632020301400103.

Abstract

A series of new cyclohexenyl nucleosides is synthesized by coupling the heterocyclic bases with a protected cyclohexenyl precursor under Mitsunobu conditions. The compounds were evaluated for their antiviral and cytostatic activity. Pronounced activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 was observed for the 2,6-diaminopurine analogue.
