C. Mathe et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTIVIRAL EVALUATION OF 3'-DEOXY-BETA-L-ERYTHRO-PENTOFURANOSYL NUCLEOSIDES OF THE 5 NATURALLY-OCCURRING NUCLEIC-ACID BASES, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 14(3-5), 1995, pp. 549-550
The hitherto unknown title compounds were stereospecifically synthesiz
ed by glycosylation of pyrimidine and purine aglycons with a suitably
peracylated 3'-deoxy-beta-L-erythro-pentofuranose, followed by removal
of the protecting groups. All the prepared compounds were tested for
their ability to inhibit the replication of a variety of DNA and RNA v
iruses (including HIV), but they did not show significant antiviral ac
tivity.
