P. Franchetti et al., SYNTHESIS OF UNSATURATED ANALOGS OF 9-[2-(PHOSPHONOMETHOXY)PROPYL]GUANINE AS ANTIVIRAL AGENTS, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 16(10-11), 1997, pp. 1921-1932
The synthesis of 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)allyl]guanine (1) and 9-[2(pho
sphonomethoxy)allyl]-8-aza-guanine (2), two new unsaturated acyclic ph
osphonate nucleosides analogues of the anti-HIV agents PMPG and 8-aza-
PMPG, is described. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for activity agai
nst human immunodeficiency virus(HIV-1 and HIV-2) and herpes simplex v
irus (HSV-1 and HSV-2).
