title: Deaza- and deoxyadenosine derivatives: synthesis and inhibition of animal viruses as human infection models.
abstract: N6-Cycloalkyl-2',3'-dideoxyadenosine derivatives and (2-chloro)-N6-cycloheptyl-3-deazaadenosine have been synthesized and tested, along with other (deaza)purine (deoxy)nucleosides from our chemical library, as inhibitors of virus replication against Bovine Herpes Virus 1 (BHV-1) and sheep Maedi/Visna Virus (MVV). Most compounds demonstrated good antireplicative activity against MVV, showing also low cell toxicity.
