title: Synthesis and antiviral evaluation of novel cyclopropyl nucleosides, phosphonate nucleosides and phosphonic acid nucleosides.
abstract: Novel phenyl-branched cyclopropyl nucleosides, phosphonates, and phosphonic acid analogues were designed and synthesized as potential antiviral agents. Coupling of the mesylate 10 with natural bases (U, T, C, A) and desilylation/hydrolysis afforded a series of novel cyclopropyl nucleosides 15-18. Phosphonate and phosphonic acid nucleosides 22-29 were also readily synthesized from the mesylate 21. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiviral activity against various viruses such as HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2, and HCMV.
