title: 5'-Amino-5'-deoxyaristeromycin and its antiviral properties.
abstract: An efficient, three-step synthesis of 5'-amino-5'-deoxyaristeromycin (5), from a protected form of aristeromycin (6), is described. Compound 5 was evaluated against a large number of viruses. It showed weak activity towards vaccinia, herpes simplex virus 2, and cytomegalovirus. No other activity was observed. Compound 5 displayed some cytotoxicity towards the host cell lines human foreskin fibroblast, Daudi, and human T-lymphocyte (CEM).
