title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of pyridin-2-one nucleosides.
abstract: The synthesis of 1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyridin-2-one-3-carboxylic acid and the 3-carboxamide as well as a short series of 3N-carboxamides, prepared by TPTU/HOBt coupling of primary amines with 1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyridin-2-one-3-carboxylic acid, and their evaluation as anti-infective agents is described.
