title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of thymine nucleosides fused with 3',4'-tetrahydrofuran ring.
abstract: The pyrimidine nucleosides fused with 3',4'-tetrahydrofuran ring were successfully synthesized, starting from 1,2;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucose and assayed for antiviral activities against HIV-1, HIV-2, EMCV, Cox. B3 and VSV. Thymine analogue (5) and its corresponding 2'-deoxy analogue (6) exhibited high cytotoxicity instead of giving antiviral activities.
