Abstract:
Abstract Routes to 2-alkylated-5-aminoimidazole nucleosides have been investigated in which the 2-substituent has up to 3 carbon atoms and capable of being interconverted into suitable oxy and 0x0 alkyl derivatives for use in enzyme inhibition and biochemical incorporation studies involving both purine nucleotide de novo and thiamine biosynthesis.
