title: Synthesis and antiviral evaluation of carbocyclic analogues of 2'-azido- and 2'-amino-2'-deoxycytidine.
abstract: Carbocyclic analogues of 2'-azido- and 2'-amino-2'-deoxycytidine, compounds 8 and 9, were synthesized by an eight-step synthesis from (+/-)-(1 alpha,2 alpha,3 beta,5 beta)-3-amino-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2- cyclopentanediol (1), which was prepared from cyclopentadiene via an eight-step route. These compounds were tested in vitro against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The 2'-amino analogue was found to show moderate antiviral activity, with an ED50 of 50 microM. However, the 2'-azido analogue was not active at a concentration up to 400 microM.
