D. Swartling et al., THE SYNTHESIS, FLUORESCENCE AND ANTIVIRAL STUDIES OF 3'AMINO-2',3'-DIDEOXYTHYMIDINE SUBSTITUTED 10-CYANO-9-ISOTHIOCYANATOANTHRACENE ADDUCTS, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 13(9), 1994, pp. 2013-2019
Adducts of 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxythymidine and various methoxy-substit
uted 10-cyano-3-isothiocyanatoanthracenes were prepared for use as flu
orescent-tagged molecular probes. The thymidine/anthracene adducts wer
e subjected to antiviral assays to determine if the adducts possessed
antiviral activity.
