Abstract: | Abstract Ribavirin and tiazofurin, two nucleosides of known antiviral activity, have been transformed by previously reported methods to yield several deoxy,epoxy, or dideoxy analogues. The deoxygenated derivatives were evaluated for antiviral activity against a host of DNA and RNA viruses; however, no significant in vitro activity was detected. |
