4′-Selenonucleosides: Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of Novel Ribavirin and Acadesine Analogs as Anti-Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Agents

Journal Article Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry · November 1, 2021 Intrigued by the biological activity of 2′-C-methylribofuranosyl nucleosides, and ribavirin/acadesine, based on the bioisosteric rationale between oxygen and selenium, we herein report a design and synthesis of the 2′-C-methyl-4′-seleno-ribavirin and -acad ...

Asymmetric Synthesis of 2'-C-Methyl-4'-selenonucleosides as Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Agents.

Journal Article The Journal of organic chemistry · November 2019 In search of a new template for anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agents, we designed and synthesized the 2'-C-methyl-4'-selenopyrimidine and -purine nucleosides and their phosphoramidate prodrugs to replace a furanose oxygen of anti-HCV nucleos(t)ides w ...
