Acyclic glycosidopyrroles of type 1, synthesized in good overall yield
s, were evaluated for anti-viral activity. Compound 10i was found to i
nhibit the HIV-1 replication at concentrations that were very close to
those cytotoxic for MT-4 cells. Compounds 10a,f,i inhibited both stra
ins HSV-1 and HSV-2 at concentrations slightly below those cytotoxic f
or Vero cells. However for this series of glycosidopyrroles some relat
ionship between calculated log P values and the observed cytotoxicity
was found. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
