title: The cyclohexene ring as bioisostere of a furanose ring: synthesis and antiviral activity of cyclohexenyl nucleosides.
abstract: The application of the bioisosteric concept between a furanose ring and a cyclohexene ring in the nucleoside field has led to the discovery of new potent antiviral agents.
