title: Novel carbocyclic nucleosides containing a cyclobutyl ring: adenosine analogues.
abstract: (1S,1'R)-cis-1-(3'-aminomethyl-2',2'-dimethylcyclobutyl)ethanol (1) and (1S,1'R)-cis-1-[3'-(2-aminoethyl)-2',2'-dimethylcyclobutyl]ethanol (2) were used as precursors in the synthesis of cyclobutyl nucleoside analogues containing adenine and 8-azaadenine moieties, which were tested as antiviral and antitumoral agents in a variety of assay systems. Compounds 8 and 9 displayed significant activity against respiratory syncytial virus, and compounds 14 and 15 were moderately active against vaccinia virus.
