title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel selenonucleosides.
abstract: A series of novel selenonucleoside analogues with 1,4-oxaselenane as the carbohydrate fragment has been synthesized from their corresponding dimesylated seconucleosides treated with NaHSe solution and subsequent deprotection. The synthesized selenonucleoside analogues were evaluated as potential antitumor agents.
