title: A new class of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates: synthesis and biological activity of 9-[[(phosphonomethyl)aziridin-1-yl]methyl]guanine (PMAMG) and analogues.
abstract: A new class of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates PMAMG, PMAMA, PMAMC, and PMAMT (compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4) have been synthesized and tested in vitro against a wide variety of viruses, fungi and bacteria. PMAMG (1) was synthesized by the alkylation reaction of acetylguanine with the phosphonate side-chain, diisopropyl [[2-(bromomethyl)aziridin-1-yl]]methylphosphonate (9), followed by deesterification reaction in the presence of TMSBr. In similar way, PMAMA, PMAMC, and PMAMT were prepared.
