Abstract: | Abstract Cyclopropyl carbocyclic nucleosides have been synthesized from the key intermediate 2 which was converted to the mesylated cyclopropyl methyl alcohol 3. Condensation of compound 3 with various purine and pyrimidine bases gave the desired nucleosides. All synthesized nucleosides were evaluated for antiviral activity and cellular toxicity. Among them adenine 22 and guanine 23 derivatives showed moderate antiviral activity against HIV-1 and HBV. None of the other compounds showed any significant antiviral activities against HIV-1, HBV, HSV-1 and HSV-2 in vitro up to 100μM. |
