N. Nguyen-ba et al., Design and SAR study of a novel class of nucleotide analogues as potent anti-HCMV agents., NUCLEOS NUC, 18(4-5), 1999, pp. 821-827
We have developed a novel class of 2-phosphonate 1,3-dioxolane nucleotide a
nalogues, from which the guanine derivative displayed weak anti-HCMV activi
ty. Further SAR studies led to the identification of both cis and trans gua
nine derivatives of tetrahydrofuran analogues as potent anti-HCMV agents, b
oth in vitro and in vivo, compared to ganciclovir and HPMPC.
