Stereoselective Synthesis of Novel Aristeromycin Analogues as Potential Antiviral Agents

Abstract

A series of 3′-methyl-branched and purine-modified analogues of aristeromycin were synthesized via the SN₂ displacement of a key triflate, which was prepared from a readily available enantiopure building block in eight steps. The synthesized compounds were evaluated as potential antiviral agents against important viruses. Only the 2,6-diaminopurine derivative exhibited moderate activity against vesicular stomatitis virus.

synthesis - carbanucleosides - nucleobases - S_N2 displacement - antiviral activity
