J. Davis et al., POTENTIAL ANTIVIRAL AGENTS - PART II - SYNTHESIS AND ANTIVIRAL EVALUATION OF PYRAZINONES SUBSTITUTED WITH ACYCLIC CHAINS, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 17(8), 1998, pp. 1489-1504
The synthesis of a series of 4'-substituted hydroxybutyl pyrazine anal
ogues of the anti-herpes compound, acyclovir, is described. The compou
nds were characterized with H-1 and C-13 nmr, mass and IR spectroscopy
. Antiviral (HSV-1, CMV, Cox B4, HIV-I) properties of these compounds
were examined. None of these compounds were active against these virus
es.
