title: Design and synthesis of new potent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) inhibitors based on internally hydrogen-bonded 1,6-naphthyridines.
abstract: 1,6-Naphthyridine-2-carboxylic acid benzylamides are potent anti-HCMV compounds. Replacement of the amide moiety by other groups containing internal hydrogen bonds was undertaken to extend the SAR. Our results indicated that the urca derivatives showed very good activity.
