title: Synthesis and anti-hepatitis C virus activity of nucleoside derivatives of N3, 5'-anhydro-4-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-8-aza-purin-2-ones.
abstract: A series of N3, 5-Anhydro-4-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-8-azapurin-2-ones were prepared in multistep reactions from uridine as potential anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agents. The synthetic details as well as biological evaluations are discussed.
